概要	BACKGROUND:Combination therapy with two different traditional medicine formulations called hainosankyuto and juzentaihoto (TJ-122 and TJ-48; Tsumura & Co, Tokyo, Japan) may be effective for perianal abscess (PA), but their effectiveness has not been established. The present study investigated the effectiveness of combination therapy with TJ-122 and TJ-48 as the most effective conservative treatment for PA.METHODS:We identified 69 patients with PA under 2 years of age and divided them into four groups according to the formulations used: group 1, TJ-122 (n = 17); group 2, TJ-48 (n = 14); group 3, TJ-122 and TJ-48 (n = 19); and group 4, no traditional medicines (n = 19). Treatment was continued for 3-6 months after resolution of the PA in groups 1 and 2, and for 1 year in group 3. Age at presentation, duration of purulent discharge (PD), frequency of surgical intervention (incision and drainage [ID]; fistulotomy/fistulectomy), and recurrence rates were statistically analyzed.RESULTS:Mean age (months) was 8.6 ± 9.2, 6.9 ± 7.3, 5.2 ± 4.7, and 3.8 ± 3.1 in groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively (P = n.s.). Mean PD (weeks) was 2.5 ± 2.2, 7.1 ± 10.8, 2.0 ± 0.0, and 2.7 ± 1.0, respectively. Duration of PD was significantly longer in group 2 than in groups 1 and 3 (P < 0.05). Mean number of ID procedures was 1.0 ± 0.2, 2.3 ± 0.5, 0, and 1.6 ± 0.2, respectively. Group 1 had significantly less ID than group 2 (P < 0.01). Recurrence rates were 6%, 36%, 0%, and 32%, respectively. Groups 1 and 3 had significantly less recurrence than group 2 (P < 0.05), and group 3 had significantly less recurrence than group 4 (P < 0.01).CONCLUSIONS:Combination therapy with TJ-122 and TJ-48 decreased recurrence and surgical intervention to zero in this study, demonstrating high effectiveness for treating PA in children.
