Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study is to present a case report with the adult patient who needed active treatment of pityriasis rosea with severe pruritus, and did not respond to steroid treatment in the preceding month. Methods : The subject is an adult patient with pityriasis rosea over the age of 40 without any other diseases. We administered Korean medicine treatment with Bangpungtongseong-san (防⾵通聖散) and acupuncture. The effects of the treatment were evaluated via scales including Pruritus score, Pityriasis Rosea Severity Score (PRSS), and picture. Results : After the treatment Pruritus score/PRSS index of the case changed from 8/20 to 0/0. No other severe adverse reactions were reported. No more recurrence or pruritus was confirmed in follow-up. Conclusions : Korean medicine treatment with Bangpungtongseong-san showed marked improvement in pruritus and skin symptoms of pityriasis rosea in need of active care. With the lack of existing clinical reports of pityriasis rosea, we found that Korean medicine treatment could be an effective way, and it is expected that Bangpungtongseong-san could be administered to pityriasis rosea patients. Randomized-controlled trial for further evaluation will be needed in the future.

장미색 비강진 환자에게 방풍통성산(防風通聖散)을 투여하여 증상의 호전과 치료의 안전성을 확인할 수 있었다. 소양감이 심하여 일상에 영향을 받는 등 치료가 필요한 상황이었고, 앞선 스테로이드 치료에는 반응하지 않았지만 한약 복용 후 소양감 및 피부 증상의 뚜렷한 개선을 보였다. 기존의 연구 보고를 근거로 방풍통성산(防風通聖散)이 소염 및 해열작용을 통해 피부 질환에서 유효한 효과를 갖는 것으로 보이고, 이로써 장미색 비강진에서 치료 효과를 발휘한 것으로 사료된다.
