Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the treatment of a patient suffering from $Sj{\ddot{o}}gren^{\prime}s$ Syndrome with influenza A virus infection with Korean medicine. Methods: We used herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion to treat a patient during hospitalization. We observed the changes in symptoms using the European League against Rheumatism $Sj{\ddot{o}}gren^{\prime}s$ Syndrome Patient Reports Index (ESSPRI) and a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: After treatment for 17 days, the patient's symptoms showed improvement in joint pain, dry eye, and dry mouth. The ESSPRI score was decreased from 10 to 5.3. The VAS for dry mouth and dry eye were decreased from 10 to 6 and from 10 to 5, respectively. Conclusion: This clinical case study suggests that Korean medicine treatment that includes Insamyangyoung-tang-gami could be effective in the treatment of $Sj{\ddot{o}}gren^{\prime}s$ Syndrome.
