title: [The status of the endocrine function of the thymus in acute radiation sickness resulting from the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station].
abstract: Data are presented on the role of inhibition of endocrine function of the thymus in the pathogenesis of acute radiation sickness resulted from the direct and indirect (via the increased glucocorticoid production) effects of ionizing radiation. The complex treatment, including nonspecific active immunotherapy, permitted to normalize the thymic hormone level and certain parameters of the immune system.
