The hematological changes of Japanese fishermen exposed to fallout in

1954 were reported with other findings.
Generally speaking,it is difficult to estimate correctly the exposed radiation
dose soon after the accident. Therefore, treatment of heavily irradiated persons should be decided by the daily appraisal of clinical and laboratory
findings. From this point, hematological changes are an important information

As to the Japanese fishermen, it seems to be very important as well as
