Progressive alterations in the peripheral white blood cell count after therapeutic radiation in man were observed with fluorescent microscopy. In general, there was a reduction in the percentage of mononuclear cells with cytoplasm fluorescing green and an increase in the percentage with cytoplasm fluorescing red. Although the number of patients in the study is small, it appears that alterations in circulating white blood cell counts observed after acridine orange staining is a sensitive index of radiation exposure. Approximately one-half of the patients in this small series showed a marked increase in the percentage of mononuclears with red fluorescent cytoplasm. The full implications of these findings must await further clinicopathologic correlation. (auth)
