Abstract

<p>We herein report three patients who complained atypical febrile diseases associated with painful whole body (Case 1), general fatigue (Case 2), and a sense of general discomfort (Case 3). All cases were not accompanied by dizziness and a shaky feeling which are commonly associated in shimbuto-sho i.e. indication of shimbuto, but presented severe tenderness at the left paraumbilical region which was suggested as indicative point of shimbuto by Yoshiko Takagi. We made a diagnosis in these three cases as shimbuto-sho based on the Takagi's tender point. Through these clinical experiences we propose that a new type of shimbuto-sho, which are completely different from the fixed idea of inherited knowledge. This new type of shimbuto-sho consists of following signs ; fever with chill, floating and feeble pulse, no sweating, general fatigue or body pain, and severe pain at Takagi's tender point.</p>
