The Value of “Epidemic Pathogen Tropism” in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Epidemic Diseases
Epidemic diseases are different from seasonal diseases, and seasonal epidemic cannot cover all epidemic diseases. The unprecedented temporal and spatial variation of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought many challenges to the traditional theories of epidemic diseases in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), such as how to determine the TCM attributes of non-seasonal epidemic diseases, and how to formulate prevention and treatment protocols for asymptomatic infections. “Epidemic pathogen tropism” (the tropism of epidemic pathogen to the physical and chemical environment) has been found to be the breakthrough, by referring to the clinical experience of TCM in the management of COVID-19 cases and analyzing the “mechanism, syndrome and treatment” of the previous epidemic diseases. By judging the “epidemic pathogen tropism” of the relevant pathogens, the epidemic

that is “non-wind, non-cold, non-summerheat, and non-damp” can be given TCM attributes, thereby providing the entry point for the determination of the nature of epidemic diseases and the main disease mechanism, and the development of prevention and treatment protocols for asymptomatic infections.
