| Abstract
|
| As a common vasculitic disorder，Henoch-Schönlein purpura（HSP）falls under the categories of“muscular bleeding” “purpura”“purpura wind”and“grape-like epidemic fever”in traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）. Professor PI believes that the core pathogenesis of the disease lies in“wind pathogens attacking the collaterals and disturbing the blood；heat in the blood causing reckless movement and extravasation；blood stasis obstructing the collaterals and preventing new blood from settling；and prolonged illness damaging qi and yin，resulting in a complex condition of deficiency and excess”. Wind，heat，stasis，and deficiency are interwoven throughout the course of the disease. Accordingly，Professor PI advocates an integrated approach of“treating wind and blood simultaneously”，which includes“expelling wind and calming the collaterals，clearing heat and detoxifying，cooling the blood and resolving stasis，as well as tonifying deficiency and harmonizing the collaterals”. He emphasizes the importance of identifying the relative severity of wind，heat，stasis，and deficiency at different stages of the disease and dynamically adjusting treatment principles and prescriptions. This article will analyze Professor PI Chiheng’s unique experience in the differentiation and treatment of this disease based on the“treating wind and blood simultaneously”principle，from the perspectives of etiology and pathogenesis，syndrome differentiation，treatment principles and methods，application of formulas，clinical characteristics，and typical case studies，aiming to provide valuable insights for clinical practice in TCM. |
