THE INFLUENCE OF LOW DOSES OF IONIZING RADIATION ON THE COURSE OF DYSENTERIC INFECTION (in Russian)
Studies of the influence of chronic action of low doses of x rays on the course of latent dysenteric infection are presented. Monkeys, carriers of dysenteric bacteria for a long period of time, were subjected to x irradiation in the dose of 5 to 7 r daily (until their death). The animals died in 7 to 14 months, the total dose being 785 to 2060 r. The cause of the animals' death was due to infectious complications: activization of latent dysentery in macaco, and pneumonia and laryngitis in baboons. Marked r species exhibit specific differences in the sensitivity to dysenteric infection. Macaco monkeys perished from dysentery, which developed on the ground of radiation sickness; in baboons no clinical or pathomorphological manitestations of dysentery were observed. (auth)
