This was a 6-year-old girl patient who suffered from fever and abdominal distension on May 15th, 2017 and went to POJEN General Hospital for medication but in vain. On May 20th, 2017, the girl still had fever with activity reduced and paraplegia and she was brought to Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital for further management. After survey, the girl was diagnosed with meningoencephalitis caused by adenovirus and she was hospitalized for 1 month. Because of her stable condition, she was discharged from Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital but still with paraplegia and needed a wheelchair for moving. She visited our Chinese Medicine Department for help on June 20th, 2017. The diagnosis of flaccidity syndrome（痿證）was impressed and the syndrome type in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) were incomplete abatement of heat in lung（肺有餘熱）, heart and spleen deficiency（心脾兩虛）and retention of damp-heat in the body（濕熱內蘊）. Then we used Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture to clean the abatement of heat in lung, nourish heart and spleen and clean the damp-heat in the body. After 1-week treatment, the girl could walk and she could run in 2-week treatment. In this case report, we first showed that acupuncture combined with Chinese Medicine could become a therapeutic option for paraplegia after meningoencephalitis caused by adenovirus.
