Abstract:
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 °C. Because of abdominal fullness, constipation and wheeze, we administered daijokito. These symptoms disappeared, his hypoxemia improved, and his fever went down to 36 °C, accompanied by considerable defecation.
Case 2 : A 67-year-old female with suspected central hyperthermia. She had a persistent fever of 38 °C. Because of abdominal fullness and constipation, we administered daijokito. These symptoms disappeared and her fever went down to 36 °C 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 °C, and constipation, abdominal fullness and pain appeared. After administering daijokito, these symptoms disappeared and his fever went down to 36 °C 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.
