  ABSTRACT: Several patients with Down syndrome complicated by transient myeloproliferative disorder may develop liver cirrhosis for which no effective therapeutic agent exists. We report the infant with Down syndrome complicated by transient myeloproliferative disorder and liver cirrhosis who was successfully treated by Inchinkoto, the Japanese herbal medicine. In the present case, Inchinkoto appeared to prevent both histological and serological aggravation of liver cirrhosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of preventive effect of Inchinkoto on liver cirrhosis, and it can be a choice of treatment for infants with Down syndrome complicated by liver cirrhosis.
