CAN RECURRENT FURUNCULOSIS
BE TREATED WITHOUT THE USE OF
ANTIBIOTICS?
Huang Wei Ling
Medical Acupuncture and Pain Management Clinic, USA
Introduction: Furunculosis is a deep infection of the hair follicle leading to
abscess formation with accumulation of pus and necrotic tissue. Furuncles
appear as red, swollen, and tender nodules on hair-bearing parts of the body,
and the most common infectious agent is Staphylococcus aureus, but other
bacteria may also be causative. The management of recurrent Furunculosis
is problematic and may be disappointing. Simple incision and drainage may
be enough in solitary lesions, but systemic antibiotic therapy may be required.
S aureus has the ability of developing resistance to different antibiotics.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes Furunculosis is mostly caused
by invasion of dampness and heat. The treatment in TCM is intended to
dissipate heat and detoxify the body.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Recurrent
Furunculosis can be treated without the use of antibiotics.
Methods: Through the report of two clinical cases, both men, suffering
from Recurrent Furunculosis, presented little improvement with the use of
antibiotic therapy. Through earlier Medicine theories, such as TCM, methods
for energy balance of Yin, Yang, Qi and Blood were used, allied with Apex Ear
Bloodletting to withdrawal of Internal Heat, as well as dietary counseling.
Results: Both cases obtained a significant improvement with dietary
counseling according to Traditional Chinese Medicine and auricular
acupuncture sessions associated with apex ear bloodletting to clear out the
internal heat.
Conclusion: By reporting these two clinical cases, we can conclude that
Recurrent Furunculosis can be treated without the use of antibiotics. For this
goal, we must resort to earlier medicine theories like TCM to treat the root of
the problem, not only the symptom.
