It has become one of the critical problems in the pig industry. To investigate the prevalence of PPE in Korea serum samples of 828 pigs from 65 herds were tested using indirect immunofluorescence antibody technigue IFA . The infection rate in individual pigs varied from 44 to 69 whereas 106 in pig farms. The infection frequency was 57 and according to age respectively. Administration of tylosin in feed at a concentration OĨ 110 ppm for 14 days reduced the infection rate of the farms. These data indicated that the high prevalence of PPE may be controlled by tylosin. KEY WORDS Lawsonia intracellularis Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy Prevalence of PPE in Korea PPE is an enteritis of pigs and is caused by Lawsonia intmcellularis L. intracelhdaris . The bacteria cause a proliferation of the mucosa of ileum and proximal part of the colon 5 9 The major clinical symptoms of PPE can be classified into chronic and acute hemorrhagic types. The former shows anorexia a mild diarrhea and growth retardation whereas the latter shows an acute intestinal hemorrhage anemia and sudden death 8 . These symptoms occur in pigs between 6 and 20 weeks and Correspondmg author Joong Bok Lee Tel 82-2-450-3714 .
