Abstract
|
|
|
Paraquat is one of the widely used herbicides. But it is fatal, if it is consumed by people. Paraquat poisoning causes acute renal failure, hepatic dysfunction, and progressive respiratory failure. There are no effective antidotes to paraquat. This report is about one case¡¯s treatment for acute hepatitis caused by paraquat. The patient was hospitalized in the Department of Internal Medicine, Wonkwang University Oriental Medical Hospital in Chonju. The patient received the following treatments while in an acute stage : Gamdutanggamibang(ÊöÔç÷·Ê¥Ú«Û°), which consists of Radix glycyrrhizae(Êöõ®), Semen mungo(ÒÑÔç), burned powder of Rhizoma rhei(ÓÞüÜõ¤÷©ØÇ), Succus phyllostachyos(ñÓÕ÷), chinese ink(Ùøñð) and fluid therapy. The patient received Sagunjatanggamibang(ÞÌÏÖí÷·Ê¥Ú«Û°) while in a chronic stage. The patient improved faster with the above treatments than with the conventional treatment.
We hope that this report will help widening the clinical range of oriental medicine, and improve systemic efforts in treating paraquat poisoning cases.
