Abstract
Fever of Unknown Origin(FUO) is defined as a temperature higher than 38.3'C that persists without diagnosis for at least 3 weeks despite appropriate investigation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of oriental medical treatment on the patient with FUO. We treated a female patient with FUO by oriental medical treatment with appropriate herbal medicine and balanced acupuncture. We prescribed Galgunhaegi-tang (Gegenjieji-tang) for 5 days and Handayeolso-tang(Handuoreshao-tang) for 9 days. At the same period, we also applied acupuncture and checked body temperature. In order to measure a pain of the patient, we used Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). It was found that Galgunhaegi-tang had little effect at this time, but the administration of Handayeolso-tang brought the positive effect on the patient. The body temperature of the patient was lowered and VAS score was reduced apparently after treatment. Handayeolso-tang might be used for relieving symptoms of FUO.
