Abstract
|
|
|
|
This case study reports on the effect of Korean medicine on a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. An 83-year-old man diagnosed with stroke had dysuria, and it was found that an indwelling urinary catheter led to CAUTI. From laboratory tests, we identified multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and applied Korean medicine to him. After herbal medication with acupuncture and moxibustion, we studied a urinalysis and urine culture again for follow-up. We found meaningful improvement in bacteriuria and bacterial identification. This case suggests that Korean medicine could have a beneficial effect on urinary tract infections caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
