Abstract

This is clinical report of one patient with pneumonia in stroke who improved with the administration of an herb drug. During treatment for stroke, he broke out with pneumonia, a complication of stroke, which was confirmed by chest radiography. He was administrated Hwangkibyulgap-tang with antibiotics because of old age middle stage pneumonia. After administration, the symptoms improved and chest x-ray film showed no pneumonic finding. This result suggests that oriental medicine is an effective treatment for pneumonia but more clinical case reports are needed.
