Outcome
The recommended treatment when the patient was discharged from the
hospital was with H1 type antihistamines, corticotherapy, proton pump
inhibitor, antiepileptic drugs, and Luteolin because of his
anti-inflammatory and mast cell inhibitory activity. Regarding the
homeopathic treatment, upon discharge the patient continued the
administration of Causticum 30CH 7 granules/day, initiated during
hospitalization. After four weeks of treatment with Causticum 30 CH, a
homeopathic re-evaluation was done and the remedy was changed to Nux
Vomica 30CH, seven granules administered sublingually, for 30 days. In
only 1 month the clinical, mental, and emotional state of the patient
improved significantly. The bone marrow biopsy also showed lower levels
of mast cells. Considering these results, it is decided to reduce the
dose of corticotherapy and antiepileptic treatment.
After 2 months, the patient continued to improve on all levels of
health, so corticosteroid and antihistaminic therapy were completely
stopped, and the antiepileptic drug was reduced to a minimum dose (300mg
Carbamazepine/day).
We mention that the patient is still monitored and periodically
re-evaluated from a neurological and homeopathic point of view.
