The search terms are 'atopic Dermatitis', 'antiallergic', 'anti-inflammatory', 'antianaphylaxis', 'dermatitis' and we elected experimental researches about herbal medicine. Among the herbal medicine, we extracted frequent herbs using more than 5 times, and categorized through "Herbal Medicine".

Among the organs, the most related one with skin is 'Lung' and 'Lung meridian' can treat skin diseases. 2. We researched acupoints called 'specific acupoints' under elbow, knee because of clinical usage. Exceptively, SP6 and GV20 are not included in 'specific acupoints' but they can be effective for atopic dermatitis treatment. 3. Researching on MEDLINE about frequent herbs and acupoints, there are many studies that acupuncture is effective for reducing pruritus. Therefore, the acupoints which were mentioned in this study can be choosed for atopic dermatitis. Conclusions : We found several applicable acupoints for Atopic Dermatitis. We hope it will be useful in experiment such as randomized controllized trial on Atopic Dermatitis and acupuncture and futhermore in clinic.

본 연구는 대전대학교 대전한방병원 한방안이비인후 피부과에 만성 화농성 중이염에 동반된 이진균증으로 입원 및 통원 치료를 받은 환자 1례를 보고한다. 본 증례의 환자는 상기 증상으로 한방 단독 치료를 시행한 환자로서 침, 약침, 전침, 뜸, 한약, 사혈, 습식 부항 및 한방 외용제 치료를 시행하였다. 초진 시 호소한 좌측 귀의 소양감, 통증, 이명, 충만감 및 농성 이루는 호전된 상태로 퇴원하였고, 이후 통원 치료를 통하여 잔여 증상의 호전 및 이진균증의 소실도 확인되었다. 본 연구는 이진균증 치료에 일차적으로 적용하는 항진균제의 사용 없이 한방 단독 치료로 호전을 보였다는 점과 항진균 효과를 위해 국소 한방 외용제를 사용하였다는 점에서 이후 이진균증의 한방 치료 효과를 평가하는 추가 연구에 유의미한 자료로 사용될 것으로 사료된다.
