title: [Effect of quinine and quinidine on the status of hematopoietic and lymphoid organs].
abstract: The effect of quinine and quinidine introduction in subtoxic doses on the characteristics of the hemopoietic and lymphoid organs was studied in BALB/c mice. The treatment led to reversible anemia and neutrophile leukocytosis in peripheral blood. There was a tendency to the early decrease in neutrophiles the late decrease in lymphocytes in the bone marrow. The quinine-induced decrease in erythrocytes was accompanied by reticulosis, lowered erythrocyte osmoresistance, and intensified spleen erythropoiesis; quinidine induced reticulocytopenia and a decrease in the bone narrow erythroblasts. The use of both compounds was accompanied by a decrease in thymus weight and increase in the thymocyte loss in the early period, followed by the spleen weight increase in the long term.
