*Dr. Syed Tipu Sultan, Dr. Preethi V. and Dr. Siddayya Aradhyamath
ABSTRACT Since the time surgery has evolved as a speciality, infection and haemorrhage have been recognised as two well known enemies of surgeons. Over a period of time, many newer antibiotics have come into existence. However, infection still dominates and it is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in a patient who has a 'benign disease'. This is the sad part of disease. Hence, it is important to diagnose and treat infections effectively as early as possible. As per Ayurveda it can be compared with Vrana Shopha signs and symptoms where saptopakrama are mentioned as line of treatment, where as in contemporary since it is managed by anti-biotics, anti-inflamatory, analgesics as per symptoms and dressings A case of 49years/male patient who presented with pain odema and tenderness was diagnosed as Vrana Shopha with raised ESR AND WBC count and was treated with virechana, kashayaseka and jaloukavacharana which showed marked improvement in treating the disease.
