Diarrhea is the frequent passage of loose, watery stool (frequency: ${\geq}4/day$, weight: ${\geq}250g/day$) Most antibiotics can cause inflammatory change of the colon or Pseudomembranous colitis (PMC). Typical presentations of PMC are watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, leukocytosis ($12,000~20,000/\textrm{mm}^3$), hypoalbuminemia, hypovolemia and recent or concurrent use of antibiotics. Diagnostic methods of PMC are stool assay, sigmoid scopy, abdominal CT, abdominal US, etc. The age-related susceptibility noted with PMC is impressive but unexplained. Two stroke patients had diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever hypoalbuminemia and a history of recent or concurrent use of antibiotics. By use of Shirhyung- Tang, we could improve clinical symptoms (diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever hypoalbuminemia, etc.) and so report clinical course of two stroke patients with antibiotics-associated PMC.

A case of a 75-year-old Korean female with gait disturbance due to Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is presented. She was treated with acupuncture, electroacupuncture and herbal medicine - 柴苓湯(Shirhyung-Tang, Chai-ling-tang, Sairei-to) We used iNPH grading scale, and specified further the grade of gait disturbance category. After Korean medical treatment, there was notable improvement in gait disturbance on our specified scale. Cognitive impairment, tremor and rigidity were improved on each scale alongside. Korean medical treatment may be effective in treating NPH patients.
