Tuberculous mice exposed to cosmic radiation at 2,300 m showed a significantly greater mean survival time and a significantly greater number of survivors than tuberculous mice exposed to cosmic radiation at sea-level. At high altitude as well as at sea-level the female showed a significantly greater mean survival than the male. The mean survival time of the male or female at high altitude is significantly greater than that of the male or female at sealevel. At high altitude there is no significant difference in montality between male and female. At sea-level the female showed a significantly greater number of survivors than the male. The pooled data showed a significantly greater number of survivors of the female. At high altitude as well as at sea- level the lung lesions diminished, whereas the spleen lesions increased significantly with increasing survival time. (auth)
