BLOOD PICTURE OF X-RAY WORKERS IN JAPAN

Journal Article · · Koshu Eisei (Japan)
OSTI ID:4048478
The hematological data of x-ray workers in Japan and the blood picture in radiation injury are described. X-ray workers were prone to reduced blood hemoglobin, elevation of color index, increased size and volume of erythrocytes, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia. From these data hyperchromic anemia with an increase in both size and volume of erythrocytes and leucopenia may be considered as specific signs of radiation injury and are detectable clinically. These findings are being gradually improved, as protection against x ray and diminishing of exposure dose are becoming widespread. (Abatr. Japan Med., 1: No. 2, 1960)
