Abstract

Cellulitis is a infectious disease characterized by acute purulent inflammation clinically manifested by erythema, pain or heating sensation caused by palpation, chilling sign and mild to moderate fever. in western medicine most part of the treatment is focused on injecting routine antibiotics hoping for the pathogen(in the case bacteria) to be treated but instead causing the bacteria to be resistant to antibiotics and consequently leads to longer admission. In oriental medicine Cellulitis belongs to the cathegory of Ong(癰), Bal(發) or Dandok(丹毒) on symptoms. The chief cause of acute Cellulitis is the evil of wet and heat blended and the postraumatic infection evil. We experienced a case of acute cellulitis defined as Bicheonbal(비천발) and Chokbaebal(足背發). We attempted to use both methods using acupuncture, herbal medicine(Gamidangkwuijeomtong-tang(加味當歸拈痛湯)) as well as routine antibiotic treatment and as a result we have achieved remarkable results in laboratory tests though there was no difference in shortening the curing process compared to the average time that it take to cure when admitted to western medical center.
