Paragonimiasis is a common trematodiasis of medical importance and one of public health problems in many areas of southern part of Korea.
During the last sixty years, several surveys on the prevalence among the Korean population have been carried out by various investigators, although the general distribution and prevalence of paragonimiasis are not yet clearly determined.
This study was undertaken to evaluate the status of human paragonimiasis in Kang Hwa´ Gun, Kyung gi Province, Korea by the use of intradermal screening test with Veronal buffered saline antigen. A total number of 208 residents (male 119, female 89) of all age group in Kilgeong-Ri, Yangdo Myun, Kang Hwa Gun were examined by the intra dermal test with Paragonimus antigen.
The infestation rate of crayfish with Paragonimus metacercaria was also examine in Konneung and Jeongha village, Kilgeong-Ri from March 1973 to October 1978 by the interval of two to five years.
1. In the result of 208 residents, Kilgeong-Ri, the positive rate showed in 29. 3% in as a whole (36. 1 % in male, 20.2% in female).
The highest positive rate showed in 10 to 19 age group (41.5%).
2. Among the residents in Kilgeong-Ri,Paragonimus eggs were detected in 11 residents by the sputum and the stool examinations without the intradermal test result.
3. The infestation rate of crayfish with Paragonimus inetacercaria was 90.6% (116 out of 128 crayfishes) in Konneung village, and 61.5% (24 out of 39 crayfishes) in Jeongha village, Kilgeong-Ri.
