RESUMO
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and fatal disease for which some causative drugs have been developed. Qing-Dai is a Chinese herbal drug that is sometimes used as a specific treatment for ulcerative colitis in Asia, including Japan. Here, we report a case of severe Qing-Dai-induced PAH. A 19-year-old woman who has been taking Qing-Dai for 8 months was admitted for exertional dyspnea. Her mean pulmonary artery pressure dramatically improved from 72 to 18 mmHg with Qing-Dai discontinuation and PAH-specific therapy. After 6 years of onset, she had not relapsed with PAH with PAH-specific therapy.
