| Abstract;We present a case of pustulotic arthro-osteitis(PAO) successfully treated with a combination of two Kampo formulae, Unkei-to and Keishi-ni-eppi-itto-ka-ryojutsubu. A 38-year-old man developed PAO in 1998. Spontaneous remissions and recurrences of arthralgia occurred repeatedly. In August 2000, the patient consulted our department requesting Kampo therapy. Unkei-to reduced the palmar eruption to 10-20% of the peak. Keishi-ni-eppi-itto-ka-ryojutsubu was administered in addition to Unkei-to. Thereafter, polyarthralgia decreased to half and spontaneous pain disappeared. C-reactive protein(CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) values also decreased, and these values remained low for 5 months to date. After the disease activity decreased, gallium scintigram did not show any increase in uptake in the joints throughout the whole body. Keishi-eppi-itto-ka-ryojutsubu and Unkei-to may be a useful additional and alternative agent for the treatment of PPP and PAO. (author abst.) |
