Abstract

Pneumonia is an inflammation that forms at the mesopulmonum and alveolus that is also an acute infection with fever and cough. It is difficult for doctors to diagnose pneumonia in elderly patients, due to the variety of symptoms. For this reason, it, with its complications, is a major cause of death for the elderly. In this case, improvement was seen in an elderly patient diagnosed with pneumonia by X-ray, and by using Si-Kyung-Ban-Ha-Tang-Ka-Mi-Bang as a way of Kong-Bo-Kyum-Si, because in this case pneumonia was presumed Dam-Yel-Ong-Pye and Ki-Eum-Yang-Huh due to the weakness associated with old age. This thesis proposes that the elderly are better treated differently from other pneumonia patients due to the weakness that comes with old age.
