Abstract
The natare of body temperature changes and peripheral blood composition, observed shortly after single total irradiation of rabbits (1500 r), shows that the temperature and leukocytic reactions become manifest simultaneously and irrespective of each other. During subsequent periods (24, 45, and 72 hours after irradiation) the leukocyte count changes with time following the irradiation and is not associated with the temperature reaction. This indicates that later on an augmented body temperature would not influence the quantitative composition of leukocytes. Temperatare disorders following irradiation with 1500 r are marked to a lesser degree than changes of the white blocd count. (auth)
