摘要
這是一位60歲男性，有長期失眠的病史。近3個月嚴重失眠、全身起紅疹、唇周與齒齦腫痛，經血腫科診斷為急性淋巴性白血病。在住院進行第一次化療後疑因骨髓抑制而產生全血球減少症（pancytopenia），且因敗血性休克進入加護病房，經過西醫給予多種抗生素、類固醇、Levophed（正腎上腺素）、白血球生成素、輸血等來治療，住院約4週才出院。故本次入院準備接受第二次化療時會診中醫共同治療。本次住院，在化療前，患者失眠甚、唇紅偏乾、口角炎、牙齦熱感、手足心熱、心悸，證型為熱毒熾盛、氣陰兩虛，以知柏八味丸為主方來滋陰清熱；化療後，出現全血球減少症、疲憊、脹氣、噯氣…等脾胃內傷、氣虛下陷的表現，西醫給予白血球生成素治療，中醫處方用補中益氣湯加減大補元氣，服藥3帖後，病人的白血球順利由最低點回升到正常值，且腸胃道症狀均減緩，病情控制穩定後出院。在此案例，我們發現中醫藥的介入有助改善本急性淋巴性白血病病人接受化療後產生的白血球減少現象。
