A Discussion on Diagnosis and Treatment of SARS by Traditional Chinese Medicine

Reviewing the Successful experience which has been achieved in the prevention and treatment of such vital epidemic diseases as epidemic encephalitis, measles and epidemic hemorrhagic fever by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the past 50 years, this article holds that in accordance with the theories of TCM the focal point is not placed on the awareness of the causative agents of diseases but on the diagnosis and treatment based on the syndromes reflected from the struggle between the vital energy and the pathogenic factors after the invasion of causative agents in human body. In this article the authors put forward the theoretical basis and features of the diagnosis and treatment of SARS, Based on the clinic survey of 112 SARS cases in The Hospital of Guangdong Province they believe that this disease can be attributed to the area of acute spring febrile and damp-heat diseases and propose to name it acute spring febrile disease with latent dampness. The article records in detail therapeutic schedules and typical cases of SARS treated by TCM in that hospital.
