THE FEATURES PECULIAR TO THE COURSE OF EXUDATIVE PLEURITIS IN ACUTE RADIATION SICKNESS (EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH) (in Russian)
In experiments on 55 rabbits it is shown that exudative pleuritis, developing against the background of radiation sickness, acquires a number of characteristic features: an acute and rapid development of anemia; an impetuous course of pleuritis with a marked hemorrhsgic nature; the formation in the pleural cavity of extensive blood clots, a considerable retardation of the process of exudate resolution: and frequent comptications of pneumonia, a high lethality rate among the affected animals. The most serve course of the disease is observed in instances when experimental pleuritis is induced at the peak of acute radiation sickness. Exudatire pleuritis aggrarates and acceterates the development of radiation sickness: the latent period shortens; the onset of leukopenia occurs eartier and is more pronounced; and the normatiration of hematological indices is impeded for a considerable time. The pathomorphotogical picture of pteuritis in combined radiation injuries is characterized by an inflammatory process of a prevatenlty hemorrhagic nature with areas of hemorrhage and necrosis, and with frequent involvement into the process of pulmonary parenchyma.
