Abstract:
Toxoplamosis is a common parasitic infection that is widely distributed throughout the world, including the United States. However, the incidence in Korea is unknown. This report concerns a case of toxoplasmosis that manifested as intraparotid lymphadenitis in a 37-year-old woman. The etiology, clinical, microscopic, and laboratory findings, and treatment are reviewed.
