Abstract

Introduction: Guillain-Barre syndrome(GBS) is defined as a recognizable clinical entity that is characterized by rapidly evolving symmetric limb weakness, a loss of tendon reflexes, absent or mild sensory signs, and variable autonomic dysfunctions. Recently there is an opinion that Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy'(AIDP) is more effective than 'GBS' for the symptoms. These symptoms are applicable to rheumatic arthritis(痺), flaccid paralysis of limb(?) caused by wind, cold and dampness(風, 寒, 濕) from an oriental medical view point. On this, we reported one case that diagnosed as 'complex of rheumatic arthritis(痺) and flaccid paralysis of limb(?)' at our oriental medical hospital. Result: we considered these symptoms as 'complex of rheumatic arthritis(痺), flaccid paralysis of limb(?)'. In accordance with the result, we treated the patient with Chung-Sang Tong-Jung On-Ha(淸上通中溫下). We concluded that external factors such as wind, cold and dampness(風, 寒, 濕) and internal factors like vital energy's disharmony(生氣不調和) affected the patient.
