Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effects of an oriental medical treatment on the patient with allergic purpura.
Methods: A 7-year-old female patient, who was suffering from the purpura on her extremities: swelling and arthralgia on her lower extremities, was treated by herb medicine, acupuncture and pediluvium.
Results: Treated only with oriental medicine, the patient’s allergic symptoms were improved. When we checked back on her condition after 2 months later, she did not show any recurrence of the flares, and regained her health.
Conclusions: This study shows that oriental medical treatments are effective on allergic purpura, but further clinical studies are needed.
