The course of experimental aseptic peritonitis induced simultaneously with total irradiation was studied. X-ray irradiation of rabbits (600 to 1000 r) inhibits the inflammatory process of the peritoneum, caused by 1.5% turpentine emulsion introduced into the abdominal cavity. In the course of radiation sickness there is a period during which the inflammatory reaction does not change noticeably. The length of this period is in inverse dependence to the x-ray dosage. The inflammatory process produces an aggravating effect on the coursc of radiation sickness. It is manifested by an earlier onset of the disease with more pronounced destructive phenomena in the serous layer, and a later appearance of the regenerative process than in uncomplicated radiation sickncess.
