| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To observe the change of syndrome type of TCM in patients with upper respiratory tract infection before and after antibiotics treatment.[Methods] We observed tongue picture and the change of symptoms in 86 cases with upper respiratory infection before the treatment and 3 days and 6 days after treatment,recorded the symptoms and the scores.A course was 6 days.Using statistics cluster analysis method to deal with new added symptoms,the relative TCM syndromes were ascertained.Using picture software to handle the tongue picture the dependability with TCM syndromes was determined.[Results] TCM syndrome distribution of upper respiratory tract infection before treatment was:wind-cold syndrome in 28 cases,wind-heat syndrome in 27 cases,wind-cold with damp syndrome in 2 cases,wind-heat with damp syndrome in 19 cases.The TCM syndrome distribution 3 days after treatment was:wind-cold syndrome in 2 cases,wind-heat syndrome in 3 cases,wind-cold with damp syndrome in 36 cases,wind-heat with damp syndrome in 45 cases.The TCM syndrome distribution 6 days after treatment was:wind-cold syndrome in 2 cases,wind-heat syndrome in 1 case,wind-cold with damp syndrome in 27 cases,wind-heat with damp syndrome in 56 cases.The cluster analysis showed that there were two syndromes of damp-heat stagnating in the spleen and cold-damp invasion of spleen.Compared with the syndromes scores at third day,the scores of cold-damp invasion of spleen syndrome and damp-heat stagnating in the spleen syndrome 6 days after treatment had significant difference (P<0.05).The value of coated tongue R,G,and B in patients with cold-damp invasion of spleen syndrome was all less than that in damp-heat stagnating in the spleen syndrome.[Conclusion] The patients with upper respiratory tract infection after antibiotics treatment were mainly changed to damp-heat stagnating in the spleen syndrome and cold-damp invasion of spleen syndrome,suggesting using Chinese traditional medicine with corresponding antibiotics for treatment. |
