[Various indicators of the immune status of medical roentgenologists].

Study of certain immune status indicators of medical roentgenologists has detected certain immunodeficiency associated with exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation. The number of T-lymphocytes has been noticed to be reduced, while the degree of reduction increases with age, duration of work in the sphere of radiation, and the value of the individual dose of radiation within a year. B-lymphocytes number is susceptible to changes in a smaller degree.

[Immune status indices of medical radiologists].

The number of T- and B-lymphocytes of the peripheral blood was studied in 59 medical radiologists. A decrease in the number of T-lymphocytes was noted, its degree being associated with an individual annual dose of irradiation, the period of contact with radiation and age. The number of B-lymphocytes was changed to a lesser degree.
