A Case Report on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment and Nursing for a Patient with Pneumonia Complicated by Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea
Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of an integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment plan for pneumonia complicated with antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD).
Methods
2
A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of a patient with pneumonia who developed AAD during antibiotic anti-infection treatment. Western medicine treatment included adjusting the type of antibiotics, fluid replacement to correct electrolyte imbalance, and using microecological preparations to regulate the intestinal flora. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment was based on the diagnosis of spleen and stomach weakness and cold-dampness trapping the spleen, with oral administration of a decoction to strengthen the spleen, remove dampness, harmonize the stomach, and stop diarrhea. It was also supplemented with moxibustion, hot compress with traditional Chinese medicine, acupoint massage, and external application of traditional Chinese medicine for auxiliary treatment. Guidance was provided in medication care, dietary care, and emotional care.
Results
2
After 14 days of treatment, the patient's diarrhea symptoms were completely relieved, and the pneumonia infection indicators returned to normal. The patient was discharged on October 2, 2025.
Conclusion
2
For patients with pneumonia complicated with AAD, on the basis of standardized Western medicine treatment, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment and external therapies can effectively improve intestinal function, shorten the course of the disease, enhance the overall treatment effect, and has good safety, which is worthy of clinical reference.
