Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases in the Lower Respiratory Tract: A Cytopathologist's Perspective
Some of the less severe endpoints reported include "mild lesions" or "cytomegaly" in an organ and "mild irritation," whereas some of the more severe endpoints include "atrophy" of the testes, "hemorrhage," or even "increased mortality." In all cases, the calculated [HD.sub.M]: refers to an estimated human dose at which a 1% incidence occurs, but clearly a 1% incidence of "mild irritation" has a very different severity than a 1% incidence of "increased mortality." This lack of standardization of endpoint severity also occurs with traditional RfDs but is less transparent.
