A SPECIALIST SEMINAR
IN
GUANGZHOU ONTHE
CHINESE
MEDICINE
APPROACH FOR "FEBRILE
ILLNESS MANAGEMENT"
lnitially occurred in Zhongshan,
SARS demand
the
best from
all
professionals.
The integration
of Tradi-
tional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) with
Western medicine has caught the eyes
o{
the WHO.
An interview with
renown
and
experienced
TCM
Physicians was
held
on
15
April.
"Febrile illness" is
re-
lated to heat and evil;
it
arises from flu-
like
episodes.
The seasonal and
re-
gional prevalence
and
even
its
tendency
to spread are
addressed.
The
charac-
teristics are
rapid
development, protean
course and symptom variability, from
mild
to
severe
or
even
coma /
convulsion. "Spring febrile illness" con-
curs with the Western principles.
ln
spring, the wind, damp and heat
pre-
dispose
to
illnesses. Even "Autumn
fe-
brile
illness"
had also been
documented.
"Epidemics" are larger scales
ones.
Even
the disease evolution may
be ot
the
hostile or the friendly categories.
The former
may affect
the lungs
and
the
heart.
The current SARS originated
in
South China where
damp
prevails.
The
clinical signs are
often
that of prolonged
febrile
episodes
associated with
a
thickly furred tongue and
heavy damp
manifestations.
TCM Physicians
claim
"definite superiority"
when
TCM
herbs
were added to conventional treatment
for
viral infections. Prevention demands
regular lifestyle, balanced diet, modera-
tion
in
work and exercises, optimistic
philosophy
and
avoidance
of
"poison".
Above all,
the
preference
of
TCM treat-
ment
for "sub-clinical" disease to
nip
it
in
the bud, is ideal
for
high-risk groups,
e.9., close
contacls
-
a
sound
principle
of
treating well before
rapid
viral
copy
duplication
has occurred.
