The general conditions, respiratory symptoms, systemic symptoms, lung CT manifestations, states of tongue and TCM syndromes of the patients were collected and analyzed.[Results] Most of the 43 patients were male, mainly from the United States and the Philippines, of which the asymptomatic type accounted for 13.95%, the mild type accounted for 44.19%, the common type accounted for 41.86%, and there were no severe and dangerous types. According to the course of disease, 43 patients were analyzed, and the results showed that in the early stage of onset, the main syndrome was plague invading the defensive exterior, gradually evolved into heat toxin attacking the lung syndrome and dampness obstructing spleen-stomach syndrome, and in the later stage, the main syndrome was deficiency of qi and yin and nostalgia for dampness.
