Significantly elevated bacterial growth was observed in the spleen and liver of the CN exposed animals. The increased bacterial count in these organs was evident within 4-6 days post challenge as compared to vehicle exposed infected and unexposed infected animals. Increased susceptibility to infection has been considered to be the function of immune alteration due to cumulative short term effects ofCN vapour inhalation. This may be attributed to immunotoxic effects of CN on Tcells mediated macrophage functions.展开更多
