AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF IATROGENIC COMPLICATIONS OF ACRODERMATITIS ENTEROPATHICA – A CASE REPORT

Acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) is a rare disorder of zinc metabolism with an incidence of 1 in 500,000 births 1. It is mainly characterized by periorificial dermatitis, alopecia, and diarrhoea. It is caused by mutations in the gene that encodes a membrane protein that binds to zinc, resulting in zinc deficiency. Patient of AE requires a lifelong supplementation of zinc. If the treatment administered is not precise and specifically targeted, it can aggravate the condition in various ways including development of toxicity. We report a 20-year-old female patient, a known case of Acrodermatitis enteropathica, who took certain wellness products for the condition, instead of the usual zinc supplementation and resulted in erythematous and papulopustular lesions all over the face. The condition was diagnosed in Ayurvedic perspective as Mukhadooshika, taking into account the dosha involved and the symptoms presented. The treatment was planned on OP basis after proper clinical evaluation and a combination involving Nimbadi kashaya, Aragvadharishta, Abhayarishta and Kaishora guggulu was given for 1 week. External application of Eladi gana choorna in boiled and cooled water was also advised along with Dooshivishari gulika, as a visha swabhava was clearly presented. On the first review, changes in the consistency of the lesions were observed and the same medication was repeated for two more weeks, the only change being mixing of Eladi choorna in coconut milk for a more ropana action. On the next visit, a considerable reduction in the thickness and severity of the lesions was noticed and after continuing it for two more weeks, the skin had almost attained normalcy. Patient was advised to continue the medication for one more month to prevent recurrence.

A Critical Analysis of Dooshivishari  Agada

                        

¹Akhila.G                                                            ²C.K.Krishnan Nair

 The concept of dooshivisha is of utmost importance in ayurvedic treatment and Dooshivishari agada is the most renowned yoga indicated in this context. Even though many research studies have been done for evaluating different aspects of this yoga, its possibilities are not much explored in general practice. This yoga is mentioned by Acharya Susruta, Vagbhata, Yogaratnakara , Bhavaprkasa and in Kriyakoumudi with few differences among the ingredients. All the above mentioned text books describes Dooshivishari Agada in the context of dooshivisha chikitsa,while Acharya Susruta included it in Pakwasayagata visha chikitsa also. Different Pharmaceutical forms like Choorna,kwata,gutika are indicated for Dooshivishari Agada, along with Madhu and dadhi as anupana in different conditions. As per Susruta samhita Nibandhasangraha teeka, the probable mode of action of the drug can be explained as samana and prasadana. On analyzing the ingredients wrt their chemical constituents, the significantly  higher level of piperine may be responsible for increasing the bioavailability of the yoga.This is a humble attempt to incorporate the properties of Dooshivishari Adaga in the current health scenario.
