Nowadays, it is rare to see Yang min disease in the acute fever phase. We report three cases of acute fever successfully treated with daijokito. Case 1 : An 82-year-old male with suspected viral infection. He had a persistent fever of 38. Because of abdominal fullness, constipation and wheeze, we administered daijokito. These symptoms disappeared, his hypoxemia improved, and his fever went down to 36 , accompanied by considerable defecation. Case 2 : A 67-year-old female with suspected central hyperthermia. She had a persistent fever of 38. Because of abdominal fullness and constipation, we administered daijokito. These symptoms disappeared and her fever went down to 36 with considerable defecation. Case 3 : A 43-year-old male who was diagnosed with paralytic ileus accompanied by cyclic neutropenia. Three days after his temperature rose to 38 , and constipation, abdominal fullness and pain appeared. After administering daijokito, these symptoms disappeared and his fever went down to 36 with considerable defecation. When abdominal fullness and constipation appear after a fever continues, we believe the administration of daijokito should be considered whether western medicine has been applied or not. daijokito, fever, constipation, Kampo therapy
A 68-year-old female had been diagnosed with granuloma annulare a year earlier. She was prescribed tranilast and was recovering, but had to discontinue the tranilast because she suffered liver damage as a side effect.She was also suffering from a worsening rash and so decided to try Kampo medicine. We prescribed orengedokuto because of thermal symptoms suggestive of hot flushes, the appearance of her tongue, and the character of her rash. Initially, the rash improved, but from the 3rd day following admission did not change greatly. We suspected the existence of interior cold and started combining maobushisaishinto. Five days later, the granulomas had rapidly shrunk. We believe she had overlapping diseases of a yin and yang pattern from the fact that she improved clinically. granuloma annulare, orengedokuto, maobushisaishinto
