Pathogenesis, Differentiation and Treatment of Cold-damp Fever
Fever is a common manifestation of external or internal cold-damp. In this article, we have discussed the ancient understanding of cold-damp fever and explored the theory of identifying and treating cold-damp fever from three aspects including pathogenesis, differentiation and treatment. We believe that the basic pathogenesis of cold-damp fever is cold-damp constraining the exterior, struggle between healthy
qi
and pathogenic
qi
, the blocking of
qi
movement, the embedding of heat in the interior, cold-damp damaging
yang
, and the floating of deficient
yang
, which should be differentiated from that of cold-damp transforming into heat pattern, and yin disease but
yang
syndrome pattern. S
anjiao
(三焦) pattern differentiation, together with the distinguishing of fever deficiency and excess and the fever type, is advised in the diagnosis of cold-damp fever. The main treatment methods are drying dampness with acrid-warm medicinals, unblocking
yang
and draining dampness, warming
yang
, dissipating cold and eliminating dampness, and the heat-clearing medicinals should be avoided, all of which can provide certain guidance for future syndrome study and clinical treatment of cold-damp fever.
