ABSTRACT
We report a case of elderly COVID-19 pneumonia successfully treated with kakkonto in combination with shosaikotokakikyosekko confirmed by chest CT. The patient was an 82-year-old woman who complained fever, appetite loss and general fatigue. Her SARS-CoV-2 PCR showed positive and chest CT films showed pneumonia. She refused hospitalization and underwent medical treatment at home. We administered kakkonto in combination with shosaikotokakikyosekko. After 3 days, her fever decreased, and after 9 days, her subjective symptoms and pneumonia shadow on chest CT films markedly improved. Chest CT confirmed that the combined use of kakkonto and shosaikotokakikyosekko was also effective in elderly patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
