【Summary】
A 76-year-old female without any past medical history had URI symptoms related to otitis media about 5 months. After treatment of antibiotics, her symptoms of otitis media were relieved. However, she still suffered from URI symptoms. In May 2018, she had a fever up to 38˚C, accompanied with dry cough, dyspnea, general weakness, and bilateral lower limbs edema. Three weeks later, she came to Taipei City Hospital, RenAi Branch for help where lab data revealed leukocytosis and elevation of AST, ALT which indicated a damage of liver function. Chest X-ray showed suspicious RLL pneumonia. Under the impression of fever, suspected otitis media or pneumonia, she was admitted for further evaluation and management. After admission, prophylactic antibiotics was given, but in vain. Three weeks later, she still had mild fever about 37.5˚C, and her dyspnea and lower limb edema worsened. She also gained 6kg when compared with the first day of admission. Therefore, her family considered to consult Chinese medicine for integrated treatment with Western medicine. Therefore, we considered our plan of treatment and prescribed Zhen Wu Decoction, and monitored her clinical condition everyday. After giving this treatment for 4 days, her dyspnea relieved and extremities edema decreased. After one week of treatment, her overall condition improved.
