Methods : The clinical data was analyzed on a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis whose main symptoms were general weakness, anorexia, weight loss, tachycardia, night sweats, fever, coughing and chest pain. The patient was treated from June 17, 2008 to April 1, 2009, using herbal medicine (Cheongpyebyeolgab-tang) with antituberculosis drugs. Results : After treatment, the symptoms disappeared faster than with western medicine treatment only. Laboratory examinations and radiograph impressions also improved.
