[Development of toxemia in rats with long-term irradiation]

Prolonged whole-body gamma-irradiation of rats by daily dose 0.5 Gy up to total dose 8 Gy led to excessive bacterial intoxication with simultaneous decrease of the number of leucocytes and their migration rate. Additional thermal burn of exposed rats resulted in more strong bacterial intoxication, increase of the number of toxic oligopeptides and decrease of leucocytes migration rate. Isolated thermal lesion caused short-term and less pronounced increase of indices under study.
