RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ~(60)CO-r IRRADITION AND RHIZOMUCOR INFECTION IN MICE
微小根毛霉感染机理研究

Two patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes me-llitus complicated with pulmonary mucormycosis caused by Rhizomucor pusillus were observed in clnic in 1986 and 1988. In this paper, mice with their natural resistance lowered by 60Co-r Irradiation were infected by injecting sporagio-spore of Rhizomucor pusillus. The incidence of detective infection of the animals was found always highest in the 7th day after infection. The internal organs were unequally involved and the rate of invasion was shown highest in spleen (66.7-81.8%) and less in lymphnodes (0.0-25.0%).
