Study Of The Comprehensive Pathological Changes And The Methods Of Treatment On Epidemic Febrile Diseases With Warm-heat Type

The epidemic febrile diseases with warm-heat type are often seen in clinic. They are a kind of acute exopathic febrile diseases caused by pathogenic warm without damp. They are characterized by acute onset, obvious fever, deficiency of yin, fast progress and easiness to invagination and change. By tracing back to the classificatory origin and development of warm-heat type and damp-heat type as well as verifying with the past and present medical cases and the practice in clinic, I summarized that the five etiological factors: heat, pathogen, phlegm, stasis and deficiency, influenced and transformed each other and resulted in the comprehensive pathological changes of the epidemic febrile diseases with warm-heat type from the aspect of differentiation of syndromes in TCM. Correspondingly, I suggested that clearing heat, removing pathogen, dissolving phlegm, eliminating blood stasis and nourishing Yin were the basic principles of treatment and we could differentiate syndromes and treat diseases with this type in accordance with the theory of the Wei, Qi, Ying and Xue systems.
