Abstract

<p>Elderly people with chronic lung diseases are always suffered from dyspnea, so they also have much troubles in gastrointestinal functions on the basis of anxiety and insomnia. As a result, they become malnourished with a weakened immune system and are often hospitalized due to respiratory infections for a long time. Their quality of life deteriorates. This time, we experienced an elderly female patient with old pulmonary tuberculosis who was generalized weakness, showed improved appetite loss, physical activity, and dementia symptoms by taking ninjin'yoeito and kososan. She could avoid re-hospitalization due to respiratory infections. Ninjin'yoeito enhanced her energy and physical strength. As a result, she seems to have become markedly healthy. This prescription is expected to be useful for the rapidly increasing number of elderly patients with chronic lung diseases.</p>
