The results were as follows:<BR>1: The male to female ratio is 1.0: 1.28 in FP and 1.0: 1.69 in SP, showing an increase of females from FP to SP. The tendency of the increase in cases in their thirties is especially apparent. As for age, the adults were found to increase in the SP (64%) while children under ten years old were found to decrease in the SP (16%).<BR>2: As for the infection pathway within each family, infection between children was mainly in the FP while that between parents, especially the mother, and children was mainly in the SP.<BR>3: As for patients condition, children tendded to show more severe symptoms than adults.
