The patient was a 62 year-old female and diagnosed with chronic brochiectasis and thrombocytopenia. She had been suffering from severe cough and green-yellow sputum with blood since 1984. Failing to successfully treat her severe cough with hemoptysis, she came to our hospital seeking help. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis was combination of sputum, heat and blood stasis in lung, and deficiency of qi and blood. We used the principle of enrichment of ying with clearing heat, diffusing the lung to resolve phlegm. In addition, inhibition of cough and bleeding were also used. Frequency of cough and amount of sputum has decreased after four months of treatment, and futhermore, platelet count increased from 66,000/uL to 110,000/uL. The patient had continued follow up in our hospital. |
