Abstract
Total 2,829 persons consisted of 1,019 general patients and 1,030 asthma-suspected patients who visited Kangnam St.
Mary's Hospital and 780 general patients who visited Cheju Medical Center were examined for the antibody titers of Toxoplasma by indirect latex agglutination (ILA) test.
Nineteen out of 1,019(1.86%) cases in general patients group, 11 out of 1,030(1.07%) cases in asthma patients group, and 45 out of 780(5.77%) cases in Cheju patients group showed positive ILA titers. Concerned with the age and ILA positive cases, general and asthma patients expressed more cases at thirties to sixties while Cheju patients showed high incidence at children and adolescents in addition to the above mentioned ages. Frequencies of ILA positive titers were highest in 1:32 and 1:64, and some cases showed 1:2,048 or higher titers.
