Abstract:
We administered Ryutan-shakan-to to a case of pyoderma chronica which failed to respond to antibiotics alone. After two weeks, erythema disappeared and the nodules reduced significantly. As histological examination revealed organic changes which indicated fistulation, surgery was performed. Our observation showed the value of this formulation in the pre- and post-operative management of such lesions. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported before.
