TCM pattern analysis of interstitial lung disease with COVID-19
To analyze the TCM patterns of interstitial lung disease (ILD) with corona virus disease 2019
and explore its etiology and pathogenesis.
Methods
2
A cross-sectional study was conducted
in which 69 ILD patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in our hospital’s outpatient and wards from December 2022 to January 2023 were included. Their four TCM diagnostic information
general conditions and clinical data of western medicine were collected on the first visit or the day of admission.
Results
2
Among the 69 patients
the initial manifestation was predominantly lung-
wei
syndrome
accompanied by spleen syndromes. 23 symptoms were recorded from the 69 patients. Compared with the mild and moderate cases
the proportion of dyspnea
chest tightness
incomplete defecation
fear of cold
aversion of wind
blood in sputum
dry coating on the tongue and thready pulse in severe and critical patients was significantly higher (
P
<
0.05); while the proportion of headaches was significantly low (
P
<
0.05). Among the 69 patients
there were 3 types of tongue body
and 6 types of tongue coating and pulse pattern
respectively. Compared with mild and moderate patients
the proportion of dry coating on the tongue and thready pulse was higher in severe and critical patients (
P
<
0.05). Among the 69 patients
50 (72.5%) had a mixture of deficiency and excess
while 19 (27.5%) had excess patterns. From the perspective of
zang
-
fu
organ syndrome differentiation
there were a total of 12 syndrome types. Compared with the mild and moderate patients
the proportion of kidney-qi deficiency
kidney-yin and yang deficiency
heat entering
ying
-blood and pestilence blocking the lung in severe and critical patients was significantly higher (
P
<
0.05). The proportion of cold-dampness stagnation in the lung was significantly lower (
P
<
0.05). The affected area of the 69 patients is mainly located in the lung and spleen. Compared with the mild and moderate patients
the proportion of affected area in the kidney and
ying
-blood level is higher in severe and critical patients (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
COVID-19 is caused by the contraction of pestilence qi. COVID-19 in ILD patients can be manifested as the predominance of dampness toxin. The pathogenesis involves two parts: deficiency of healthy qi (in the lung
spleen
kidney) and excess of evil qi (damp heat toxin). The onset of the disease is in the lung
wei
and it common moves to the lung and spleen in the progressive stage. In severe and critical cases
the kidney and
ying
-blood may also be involved.
