Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang on the clearance of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) colonization in a patient with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and subdural hematoma. A 73-year-old man who was diagnosed with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and subdural hematoma with isolation of VRE colonization was administered Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang and followed up with a rectal swab VRE culture every week. After treatment with Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang, VRE colonization was no longer detected. This case report proved that Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang could be an effective treatment for clearance of VRE colonization in a patient with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and subdural hematoma.
