[Ultrastructure of the cells of the peripheral blood in experimental lead poisoning].

In rabbits exposed to lead poisoning electron microscopy revealed the presence in reticulocytes and erythrocytes of differently sized vacuoles, an amassment of ferritin granules in the mitochondria along with autophaging vacuoles; leucocytes evidenced turgescence of the mitochondria, up to and including their destruction and emptiness; the blood platelets showed an abundant vacuolization with disordered distribution of the serotonin and glycogen granules. The above changes become most spectacular on the 7-21st day after poisoning and by the 50th day they are encountered but in isolated cells.
