Interstitial Pneumonia and Kampo Medicine
Since 1989, reports of various forms of interstitial pneumonia have appeared in medical literature, which were evidently ascribed to Kampo formulas. Over the years, the number of annually published cases has increased; the last of these was reported on recently – in Japanese (1). In 1997, a japanese publication with a larger case series was released, and in 2017 a review, which contribute additional information about the correlations.
