Abstract

Objectives

This research aims to analyze the relationship between Daeseunggi-tang and sepsis in literature.

Methods

The main treatment symptoms of Daeseunggi-tang presented in Sanghanron and GeumGweyoryak, the symptoms of Ju-hwang and Nae-ham which correspond to sepsis in Korean Medicine, the symptoms of sepsis presented in the related papers including international guideline and diagnosis criteria of spesis were compared and analyzed.

Results

The main treatment symptoms of Daeseunggi-tang were very similar to the symptoms of sepsis, and were almost identical to the symptoms of Ju-hwang and Nae-ham (especially Hwa-ham, Gu-ham), which are the Korean medicine descriptions of sepsis.

Conclusions

Based on the above research results, it seems to be possible to use Daeseunggi-tang for the treatment of sepsis.
