It has been known that the eczema herpeticum is the one of most severe skin manifestation of external herpetic infection. It is developed by skin infection of Herpes simplex Virus(HSV) that superimposed on children with atopic dermatitis, and this could be fatal. The secondary bacterial infection happens frequently in eczema herpeticum. Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequently isolated aerobic strain. The important point of treatment of eczema herpeticum is the immediate start of systemic antiviral treatment and use of antibiotics to decrease the secondary infection. We report two cases of severe eczema herpeticum after herb medical treatment in atopic dermatitis. They have been improved after systemic acyclovir and antibiotic therapy with burn dressing.

Results : After the treatment the grade of VAS was decreased and clinical symptoms were gradually disappeared. Conclusion : Younkyopaedok-san, Sammulhwanggum-tang and Gungguigyoae-tang had improved the signs and symptoms of eczema. 1. Younkyopaedok-san and Sammulhwanggum-tang were effective on the treatment of inflammatory eczema. 2. Gungguigyoae-tang was effective on the treatment of chronic eczema.

Objective: This study aimed to report the improvement of a patient with nummular eczema treated by herbal medication based on the Shanghanlun disease pattern identification diagnostic system (DPIDS). Methods: According to the Shanghanlun DPIDS, the patient was diagnosed with Reverting yin disease (provision 351), and was administered Danggwihweyeok-tang for 30 days. The result of administration was evaluated by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and a visual analog scale (VAS). Results: After administration of Danggwihweyeok-tang for 30 days, the DLQI decreased from 18 to 0 and the VAS decreased from 10 to 1. Conclusions: The affected skin region recovered. This case report suggests that the words "厥" and "細" in the 351st Shanghanlun provision refer to physical and internal causes of nummular eczema.

Eczema herpeticum is a widespread Herpes simplex virus(HSV) infection, which usually develops in patients with atopic dermatitis, because prutitis in patients with atopic dermatits leads them to scratch their bodies, it cause the dissemination of Herpes simplex virus. This study carried out to observe the progress of Eczema herpeticum and find effective remedy. The pastient was taken Herb-medicine with acupunture, cupping theraphy, aroma theraphy, and etc. After the treatment the grade of VAS was decressed and clinical symptoms were gradually disappeared. Those results suggest that herbal treatment was effective to Eczema herpeticum.

Purpose : The gene-encoding cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4(CTLA-4) is one of the candidate genes for conferring susceptibility to atopic dermatitis(AD). The aim of the study was to investigate the association between Korean children with AD and the polymorphisms of CTLA-4 gene promoter(-318) and exon 1(＋49). Methods : The CTLA-4 promoter(-318 T/C) and exon 1(＋49 A/G) polymorphisms were genotyped via restriction fragment length polymorphism methods in 145 children with atopic eczema, 69 children with non-atopic eczema, and 96 healthy controls. Results : There was no significant difference in genotype and allele frequencies of the CTLA-4 promoter -318 T/C and exon 1 ＋49 A/G polymorphisms when the atopic eczema, non-atopic eczema, and control groups were compared. Additionally the CTLA-4 promoter -318 T/C and exon 1 ＋49 A/G polymorphisms were not shown to be associated with severity, IgE level, or eosinophil counts. Conclusion : Our data show that the polymorphisms within the CTLA-4 promoter(-318 T/C) and exon 1(＋49 A/G) genes are not associated with susceptibility to AD in Korean children.
