The effect of alcoholic typhoid vaccine and of the cultural vaccine against the tickborne encephalitis on the adrenocortical secretion in guinea pigs was studied. Functional condition of the adrenal glands was assessed histochemically. Immunization was accompanied by increase in the activity of the adrenal cortex, the most pronounced the first 3 days. Comparative analysis showed that typhoid vaccine produced a more pronounced stree on the adrenal gland function.
