A case of lower limb ulcers secondary to rheumatoid arthritis treated with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine
Lower limb ulcers secondary to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a poor prognosis and high disability rate. Early identification and diagnosis of the primary disease is beneficial to the treatment. The disease has deficient root and excess manifestations with “deficiency, stasis and necrosis” as the basic pathogenesis. In terms of treatment, we should consider the urgency of the disease and choose to treat it either by clearing heat, removing toxicity and promoting diuresis or benefiting qi, strengthening vital qi and eliminating toxicity. In the whole treatment course, activating blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis should not be neglected. In addition to oral traditional Chinese medicine decoctions, external treatment can also be applied to treat the disease. The integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine as well as the combination of internal and external treatment can be used to treat lower limb ulcers secondary to RA, which can eliminate necrosis, remove stasis, nourish deficiency and generate fresh, and can improve the clinical symptoms of patients to a large extent. One proven case is provided.
