葛根解肌湯을 투여하여 치료한 단독 환자에 대한 임상보고 3례

Erysipelas is a type of cellulitis in skin infection generally caused by group A ${\beta}$-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(葛根解肌湯) for interior diease of Taeumin(太陰人) and also used acupuncture and cupping therapy. Results and Conclusions ; We had significant effects of Galgunhaegitang(葛根解肌湯) for three cases of erysipelas patients. So if the patient were a Taeumin(太陰人), we can consider using Galgunhaegitang(葛根解肌湯) for erysipelas. We can also use antibiotics properly in case there are high fever or open wounds.
