Discussion on the Treatment of Hydroa Vacciniforme-Like Lymphoproliferative Disorder in Children from the Prospective of Latent Epidemic Febrile Disease
Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder(HVLPD)is a group of chronic lymphoproliferative diorders associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection,which is prevalent in children.HVLPD is usually characterized by latency,being chronic active,and with the symptom of fever,which is more in line with the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)pathogenesis of"latent pathogen hidden in the body and attack under certain conditions"in latent epidemic febrile disease.According to the developmental process of latent epidemic febrile disease,TCM syndromes of HVLPD can be divided into flaming of pathogens in qi-nutrient system,intense heat stirring up wind,yin consumption due to heat retention,and deficiency of qi and yin.The therapeutic principle for HVLPD is mainly to purge the interior heat,and to protect yin simultaneously.Understanding of HVLPD from the prospective of latent epidemic febrile disease in the field of TCM will provide a reference for the syndrome differentiation and treatment of HVLPD in TCM.
