Phagocytic index of clinical isolate of Candida tropicalis before and after receiving a cumulative dose of 7200 cGy; while there was an increase in phagocytosis rate after irradiation, the difference was not significant (a). Gomori-Groccot silver staining revealed the cellular remains of yeasts in the kidneys of animals infected with irradiated yeasts, suggesting incomplete phagocytosis (b). Data from two independent experiments. Standard deviation represented by bars
