ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 60-years-old man who complained fever and left knee pain. Fever and arthralgia appear once a month, and these symptoms disappear spontaneously in 3 days. The patient came to our hospital to receive Kampo treatment, because the patient experienced improving these symptoms by Kampo medicine about 20 years ago. I judged the arthralgia as kanshippi, because the arthralgia improved when the patient warmed the joint. We prescribed keishikajutsubuto 7.5 g/day. Arthralgia improved after administration of keishikajutsubuto, but the attack appeared every month. We prescribed maobushisaishinto 5 g/day in addition to keishikajutsubuto 5 g/day for further improvement of arthralgia. The frequency of fever and arthralgia attack was dramatically decreased after we prescribed keishikajutsubuto 5 g/day and maobushisaishinto 5 g/day. We considered the possibility of palindromic rheumatism based on clinical symptoms, X-ray in other clinic and blood test results in our hospital. We report an effective case of keishikajutsubuto and maobushisaishinto on arthritis attacks with fever that resolved spontaneously in a short time.
