The roots of (AJN), called "Useul-puli," has been traditionally used to control pain and improve dysfunction in osteoarthritis patients in South Korea.
We described 3 patients diagnosed with herbal medicine induced interstitial lung disease after consuming boiled the roots of AJN. They were referred to our hospital because of the modified Medical Research Council grade 4 dyspnea. Chest computed tomography showed bilateral ground-glass opacities with patchy consolidation. After treatment with systemic glucocorticoid therapy and discontinuation of the roots of AJN, their symptoms improved, and almost all ground-glass opacities and patchy consolidations on chest radiography and chest computed tomography resolved.
We present three cases of interstitial lung disease induced by the roots of AJN.

我们描述了3例在食用煮过的AJN根部后被诊断为草药性间质性肺病的患者。他们因改良医学研究委员会4级呼吸困难被转诊至我院。胸部计算机断层扫描显示双侧磨玻璃影伴斑片状实变。经全身糖皮质激素治疗并停用AJN根部后，他们的症状有所改善，胸部X线和胸部计算机断层扫描上几乎所有的磨玻璃影和斑片状实变均消失。
我们报告了3例由AJN根部引起的间质性肺病病例。
