Abstract
|
|
|
Background and Objective: Erythema nodosum-like lesions in patients with Behcet’s disease is a reactive dermatosis that occurs in response to various stimuli, such as bacterial, fungal and viral infections, drugs and malignancies. We observed and treated a case of erythema nodosum-like lesions with Behcet’s disease. We present this case because there were no former reports of erythema nodosum-like lesions with Behcet’s disease treated by herbal medicine.
Methods: The patient was a 28-year-old. The chief complains were erythema, nodose, edema, burning sensation, tenderness on both legs, forearms and feet, arthralgia and genital ulcers. She was treated with Wolbi-Tang for eleven days. We diagnosed the medication according to the results of manual abdominal examination of the patient. We used the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS).
Results: After the treatment the grade of VAS was decreased and clinical symptoms were improved.
Conclusions: Wolbi-Tang can be used on the treatment of erythema nodosum-like lesions with Behcet’s disease.
