Pathomorphological investigation of pulmonary infectious complications in persons who died from acute radiation sickness after Chernobyl catastrophe
Abstract
Lungs of 27 persons who participated in liquidation of Chernobyl accident and died from acute radiation sickness were studied histologically. Pulmonary infectious complications were found, including invasion of viral, bacterial and fungal agents. The data concerning 2 patients with cytomegalovirus pneumonitis, 3 ones with focal bronchopneumonia and 3 cases of pulmonary candidosis are shown. Being depended on hematopoietic function the inflammatory reactions were areactive during postirradiation aplasia and became typical within the recovery beginning.
