Intermittent injections of sublethal doses of the venom of Naja haje of Egypt caused temporary leucopenia followed by leucocytosis in guinea-pigs and rabbits. There was always a rise in the percentage of neutrophil leucocytes and a corresponding drop in the percentage of lymphocytes. The leucocytes of both types of animals exhibited morphological signs of phagocytosis and degeneration.
