Abstract
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effect and safety of Eunkyo-San on pityriasis rosea in children and to suggest antiviral effect of Eunkyo-san. Methods : We performed a retrospective chart review of three cases of pityriasis rosea in children younger than 10 years who treated with Eunkyo-san. Results : One patient recovered after taking Eunkyo-san 10 times for 10 days. The others recovered after taking Eunkyo-san 30 times for 22 days and hyperpigmentation was observed in one of them. Conclusions : It is expected that Eunkyo-san is thought to be effective and safe methods for the treatment of pityriasis rosea in children. Based on existing research, it is thought that Eunkyo-san has antiviral effect through the activation of immunological mechanism, and thus Eunkyo-san appears to have a therapeutic effect on pityriasis rosea.
