Abstract

목적 : 본 연구는 한방 치료로 호전된 봉와직염 환자 1례를 보고하고자 한다. 방법 : 76세 여환으로 봉와직염으로 본원에 입원하여 약 한 달 동안 한방 치료를 시행하였다. 시각 아날로그 척도(VAS), 환측 발의 둘레, 사진 및 염증 수치 등을 평가지표로 삼았다. 결과 : 퇴원 시 통증, 홍조, 열감, 가려움증과 같은 주관적 증상이 호전되었다. 환측 발의 부종이 감소하였으며, CRP 및 단핵구 수치도 감소하였다. 퇴원 후 약 한 달간의 추척검사 동안 증상이 재발하지 않았다. 결론 : 봉와직염에 한방 치료를 시행하여 호전을 보인 환자 1례에 대한 보고로, 봉와직염의 한방 치료에 대해 의미 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.
