摘要:

中医对传染病的认识历史已久,对病因病机、证治都有一定的见识、研究和发展,已形成具有内涵的系统理论。传染性非典型肺炎流行季节为冬春季,冬有烈风,春有余寒,渐伤人体抗病之原。其临床病象多有前驱症状;传染途径多由口鼻而入;本病发生发展既有伏邪内潜,又有时疫病毒之感,既伤肺卫又伤肺体,久之出现肺积,息贲难医之疫。治疗宜早不宜晚,当以宣肺通络,清热透毒为主。

Abstract:

TCM had a long history of recognizing the infectious diseases. It had established a systematic and profound theory including the recognition, research and development of the pathological factors, mechanism, differentiation and treatment. SARS was prevailing in winter and spring. The strong wind in winter and the remaining cold in spring could decrease the body resistance ability gradually. SARS often showed premonitory symptoms and its infection was through oronasal route. The attack and development of SARS was deal with not only the incubative pathogen inside but also invasion of the epidemic toxins. Not only the defense but also the lung Zang-organs could be hurt. It would change into refractory pulmonary diseases. It is better to be treated as early as possible mainly by activating the lung qi, smoothing the lung collaterals, clearing away the heat and removing the toxin from the lung.
