Abstract
|
|
|
Cystitis and acute pyelonephritis(APN) are usually caused by ascending infection. Two cases of urinary tract infection(UTI) were encountered.
Because antibiotics might cause some adverse reactions such as diarrhea, eruption, anorexia, nausea and vomiting, so Korean Traditional Medicine has been applied to UTI, and several reports can be found in the literature. This study was performed on two patients with UTI who were treated with herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion.
Noteworthy results were obtained in hematology and urinalysis. UTI symptoms, signs and laboratory findings are indicative of successful treatment. Results suggests that Korean Traditional Medicine applied to UTI is effective. These findings are reported with a brief review of related literature.
