[Hematological investigations in rats experimentally infected with m. arthritidis (author's transl)].
Hematological investigations were carried out regularly during the course of an experimental M. arthritidis-infection in rats. The alterations observed in the peripheral blood were essentially those usually found in infections. In addition, a moderate thrombocytosis and a depression of the parameters of the red blood count could be seen. In lymphnodes and spleen phagocyting RES-cells were increased 4 days post inoculationem (p.i.) and vacuolized makrophages could be observed 7 days p.i. On the 10. day p.i. very immature cells could be seen in these organs, morphologically resembling hemohistioblasts. Mature cells as well as precursors of this type of cell were found to be increased 2-3 weeks p.i. Bone marrow and thymus have been found normal during the whole period of investigation.
