Exploring the treatment of AIDS-related skin pruritus from the perspective of intestinal treatment based on the theories of lung associating with skin and hair and lung and large intestine being interior-exterior related
AIDS-related pruritus is one of the most common complications in patients with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS),often causing significant physical and psychological stress.While highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART)can significantly reduce the mortality rate in HIV/A1DS patients,its efficacy in alleviating AIDS-related pruritus is limited,and it may even induce drug-related rashes.The gut microbiota has become a hot topic of research in recent years,with studies showing a close relationship between gut flora and HIV/AIDS.Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)has been found to regulate the gut microbiota,potentially improving symptoms related to AIDS.Therefore,based on the theories of'lung associating with skin and hair'and'lung and large intestine being interior-exterior related',this paper aims to explore the feasibility of intestinal treatment for AIDS-related skin pruritus,thereby broadening the scope of clinical diagnosis and management strategies for AIDS-related skin pruritus.
