LATENT INFECTIONS IN MONKEYS WITH RADIATION SICKNESS INDUCED BY FRACTIONAL IRRADIATION (in Russian)
ABS>Work was carried out on 29 monkeys, most of them carriers of dysentery bacteria, subjected to multifold action of roentgen (12 monkeys) and gamma rays (l7 monkeys) in daily doses of 16-26 and 34 r. A very early appearance of symptoms of radiation sickness was observed, which by clinical and morphological manifestations resembled an acute radiation process. 26 out of 29 morkeys died in periods of 27 to 95 days from the start of the experiments, the total doses ranging from 450 to 1699 r, At different periods after the irradiation 25 monkeys developed infectious complications, in the majority of cases associated with activation of latent dysenteric infection (18 monkeys). The course of infectious processes against the background of radiation sickness was frequently of an atypical nature with scarce manifestations of the main symptoms of the disease. (auth)
