Abstract

A retrospective analysis was made of the leading syndromes of chronic radiation sickness (CRS) induced by external gamma-radiation in a dose of 1.0-9.33 Gy during the disease formation and in the long-term period (30-35 years after diagnosis). The frequency of the hematological and neurological syndromes, secretory alterations in the stomach, efficacy of rehabilitation measures, morbidity in specialists with a history of the clinical manifestations of CRS, who continue working are estimated.
