Objectives: The aim of this study was to report significant improvement of chronic diarrhea and hematochezia after treatment with Dojeokgangki-tang in a Soyangin Patient with Crohn’s Disease.
Methods: The patient’s subjective and objective symptoms were observed daily throughout the hospitalization period, and the Crohn’s disease activity index(CDAI) was calculated to gauge the progress or lack of progress.
Results: The symptoms of diarrhea and hematochezia disappeared by the end of the hospitalization period without recurrence, and the CDAI score dropped from 92.5 to 47.
Conclusions: A patient with Crohn’s disease, who was in the state of repetitive relapse and remission after long term clinical courses was treated with Dojeokgangki-tang in a short period and the the symptoms of diarrhea and hematochezia disappeared without recurrence. Then the patient could stop taking corticosteriods and taper off immune-suppressing drugs.
