The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphometry of cortical and medullary thymic lobes individualized by determination of area (µm2), perimeter (µm), maximum and minimum diameter (µm) and shape factor in New Zealand White rabbits. The spleens of ten rabbits treated with gentamicin and ten control rabbits (males and females) were histologically processed. The gentamicin dosage and the time of administration of this aminoglicoside were according to therapeutic recommendation. This antibiotic did not cause any alteration in the morphometry of the spleen, and it seemed not to be an immunosuppressive drug.Downloads
