Saireito-induced cystitis in children: Two new cases and a review of the literature
Tóm tắt
We describe 2 children with sterile cystitis caused by Saireito, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. A diagnosis of cystitis was made for 1 child at 8 months and for the other at 11 months after Saireito treatment for renal disease was initiated. Clinical symptoms were resolved 1 and 6 weeks after Saireito treatment was withdrawn. We also reviewed the first report written in the English language on 8 additional patients with Saireito-induced cystitis. We found that Saireito-induced cystitis occurred mainly in children and developed 6 months or more after Saireito treatment was initiated. The incidence is not uncommon, and the cause may be an allergic reaction, because eosinophilic cell infiltration was noted on histopathologic examination, and the challenge test was positive. We recommend that, when sterile cystitis develops during treatment with Saireito, Saireito should be immediately withdrawn.
