저자는 급성 골수성 백혈병으로 진단받은 환아의 범혈구감소증으로 인한 출혈(出血)소견과 전신자반증(全身紫班症), 정신의식계통의 혼돈(混沌)과 극도의 허손(虛損)상태를 경험하고 이를 한방적으로 접근하여 짧은 기간이었으나마 호전도를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 백혈병은 아직까지는 한방으로 완치(完治)라는 것이 어려운 분야이지만, 일차적으로 관해 유도법을 도입하기전이나 관해 후의 허손(虛損)으로 환자의 체력이 됫받침되지 못할때 충분히 양방과 협진하여 그 효과를 입증할수 있다고 생각된다. 아직까지 한방분야에서 백혈병 등의 혈액암에 있어서는 그 문헌적인 연구는 미흡하나마 존재하지만, 임상적인 연구나 치료방법적인 면으로는 보고된 바가 부족하며 이 논문을 계기로 다양한 임상연구가 진행되었으면 하는 바람이다.
