Abstract

Objective: This study addressed the case of a cerebral infarction patient with recurring aspiration pneumonia.Methods: A patient diagnosed with cerebral infarction with recurring aspiration pneumonia was treated with Korean medicine therapies, including herbal medication (Shigyungbanha-tang-gami), acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and moxibustion combined with antibiotics for 31 days. To evaluate the therapeutic effect, we checked chest X-rays, lab evaluations, the number of night suctions, and body temperature.Results: After treatment, chest X-rays and inflammation markers improved. In addition, the number of night suctions decreased, and the body temperature was normalized. Aspiration pneumonia recurred. However, the intensity of the symptoms gradually weakened, and the recovery speed increased.Conclusion: These results suggest that Korean medicine therapies, including Shigyungbanha-tang-gami combined with antibiotics, have a beneficial effect on recurring aspiration pneumonia, an additional disease related to cerebral infarction.

韩药世庆半夏汤加味联合抗生素治疗脑梗死合并反复吸入性肺炎1例

目的:研究一例脑梗死合并反复吸入性肺炎的病例。方法:对1例确诊为脑梗死合并反复吸入性肺炎的患者，采用中药(石瘀板哈汤加味)、针灸、电针、艾灸联合抗生素治疗31 d。为了评估治疗效果，我们检查了胸部x光片、实验室评估、夜间吸痰次数和体温。结果:治疗后胸部x线及炎症指标改善。夜间吸痰次数减少，体温恢复正常。吸入性肺炎复发。但症状强度逐渐减弱，恢复速度加快。结论:本研究结果表明，韩国药疗法，包括石柱板哈汤加味联合抗生素，对复发性吸入性肺炎(一种与脑梗死相关的附加疾病)有有益的效果。
