Nursing Experience of Holistic Management for a Patient with Lower Limb Erysipelas in Different TCM Stages Complicated by Agranulocytosis
This article summarizes the nursing practice of holistic management for a patient with lower limb erysipelas (differentiated into TCM stages) complicated by agranulocytosis. Adopting a "whole-process case management model", an individualized nursing plan was developed based on erysipelas staging, TCM syndrome differentiation, local symptoms, and quality of life, establishing an integrated "differentiation–intervention–rehabilitation" nursing system. Through tailored oral herbal decoctions, external TCM therapies, phased TCM-specific nursing, and progressive rehabilitation training, systemic symptoms were regulated, while lower limb redness/swelling and skin edema were controlled. After 13 days of intensive treatment and refined nursing, the patient achieved the dual goals of "clinical remission and quality-of-life improvement", leading to successful discharge.
