|
|
Objective: This case report describes the treatment of hemoptysis in a bronchiectasis patient with Hyunggaeyungyo-tang plus Gamijihwang-tang.
Methods: The hemoptysis in this patient was suspected to result from bronchiectasis, which was diagnosed with a chest CT at another hospital. She was treated with a herbal medicine, Hyunggaeyungyo-tang, plus Gamijihwang-tang. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated by measuring the amount of hemoptysis and by a visual analogue scale (VAS) to determine the patient's quality of life.
Results: After administration of Hyunggaeyungyo-tang plus Gamijihwang-tang, the severity of hemoptysis decreased, based on the amount of hemoptysis and the VAS scores.
Conclusions: Hyunggaeyungyo-tang plus Gamijihwang-tang is a potent therapeutic agent for the treatment of hemoptysis.
