We present a rare case of repetitive lung disease caused by various herbal medicines containing common ingredients. In June 201X-2, an 81-year-old man with chronic sinusitis was treated with Shini-seihai-to. One month later, the patient experienced liver dysfunction, and pulmonary opacity was observed on a chest radiograph; this condition improved following the discontinuation of Shini-seihai-to. In October 201X-2, the patient developed fever and dyspnea after treatment with Saiko-keishi-to, which was administered to treat irritable bowel syndrome, and was diagnosed with pneumonia. His condition did not improve with antimicrobial treatment but did improve with systemic corticosteroids. Following discharge from the hospital, the patient took both Shini-seihai-to and Hochu-ekki-to. He developed a fever two days later, which improved after discontinuing the medicines. The patient developed a cough after taking Sairei-to in February 201X and was subsequently admitted to our hospital with respiratory failure; pulmonary opacity was observed on a chest computed tomography scan. On the basis of clinical course, lymphocytosis in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation tests, we diagnosed the patient with Sairei-to-induced lung disease. The patient's condition improved after discontinuing Sairei-to. We conclude that common ingredients in different herbal medicines may cause drug-induced lung injury. Therefore, we recommend that scrupulous attention should be paid to Chinese herbal medicine use in patients with a history of lung injury induced by herbal medicines. |
