Hematologic findings in in utero atomic bomb irradiated and nonirradiated children of Hiroshima between the years 1950 to 1957 were compared. No changes peculiar to the irradiated group were found. Overt anemia cases were rare, and distribution of hemoglobin levels was only slightly lower than those reported in American and European children. Leukocyte levels, irrespective of age of the children, were found to be progressively falling in the children of Hiroshima, whether or not exposure to irradiation had occurred. By 1957 the values were distinctly lower than those reported for normal children in Japan and the U. S. No cause for this change was apparent. (auth)
