Introduction: The aim of this study is to report the effect of Yukmijiwhang-tang-gamibang on the treatment of hypersensitivity vasculitis.
Case presentation: A patient with hypersensitivity vasculitis was treated with herbal medicine (3 times a day) and dressing (once per day) for 16 days. The severity of hypersensitivity vasculitis was assessed using the numeral rating scale (NRS) and pruritus score. After treatment, pain and itching symptoms were reduced, the NRS score improved from 5 to 1, and the pruritus score improved from 2 to 0. No adverse reactions were noted and no relapse of hypersensitivity vasculitis occurred within 38 days after the end of treatment. This result shows that herbal medicine could be effective and safe for treating hypersensitivity vasculitis.
Conclusion: According to the results, Korean medicine such as Yukmijiwhang-tang-gamibang can be effective and safe for the treatment of hypersensitivity vasculitis.
