Abstract
During Leishmania donovani infection of golden hamsters, changes in th e glutathione levels of lymphoid tissues were observed. While in liver and thymus there was significant decrease in the levels of reduced an d oxidised glutathione, that in spleen, bone marrow cells, peritoneal exudate cells and lymph nodes increased, indicating a role for host gl utathione in establishing the infection.
