Fig. 1 Results of micro-ELISA using CSF and pleural effusion for specific IgG antibody(=AB). ● : Paragonimus(=PW)-specific IgG AB in 1:100 diluted serum, △ : PW-specific IgG AB in undiluted CSF, □ : PW-specific IgG AB in 1:100 diluted pleural effusion, ● : Sparganum-specific IgG AB in 1:100 diluted serum, ▲ : Sparganum-specific IgG AB in undiluted CSF. See text for clinical summary of cases. Horizontal dotted line at 0.25 is the differential criterion for positive reaction.
