[Erythrodieresis in nitrite intoxication of varying duration in rats].

We studied cellular mechanisms of erythrophagocytosis on day 3, 7, 14 and 21 after sodium nitrite administration in a dose 0.2 g/l using the technique of peritoneal macrophages and autologous erythrocytes cultivation. At any terms of the experiment erythrophagocytosis activation was observed, the number of macrophages, adhering erythrocytes and macrophages with phagosomes and hemoglobin inclusions was increased.
