谈寒湿疫之寒湿入营OACSTPCD

Academician Tong Xiaolin proposed that Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19)is a cold-damp epidemic with its pathological factors involving cold and dampness,and should be treated by dispersing cold and removing dampness.As a special syndrome,the syndrome of cold-damp entering nutrient phase occurs in the critical stage of the epidemic,whose etiology and pathogenesis should be identified and whose treatment should be administered in a different way compared to those in the syndrome of heat invading nutrient phase.Therefore,from the perspective of the syndrome characteristics and their identification,this article aims to further sort out,update and improve the theoretical system of syndrome differentiation in a cold-damp epidemic,and to excavate the practical clinical significance of the theory of cold-damp entering nutrient phase,with a view to innovating the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment with it in this aspect.
