Abstract
|
|
|
Erysipelas is a type of cellulitis in skin infection generally caused by group A ¥â-hemolytic streptococci. An erysipelas skin lesion typically has a raised border that is sharply demarcated from normal skin. The underlying skin is painful, intensely red, hardened, swollen, and warm.
Objectives: We reviewed three cases of erysipelas patients who hospitalized in Dongshin Univ. Suncheon Oriental medicine hospital from June 2001 to June 2002.
Methods : We treated them with Galgunhaegitang(ÊçÐÆú°Ñ¿÷·) for interior diease of Taeumin(÷¼ëäìÑ) and also used acupuncture and cupping therapy.
Results and Conclusions ; We had significant effects of Galgunhaegitang(ÊçÐÆú°Ñ¿÷·) for three cases of erysipelas patients. So if the patient were a Taeumin(÷¼ëäìÑ), we can consider using Galgunhaegitang(ÊçÐÆú°Ñ¿÷·) for erysipelas. We can also use antibiotics properly in case there are high fever or open wounds.
