Zhang Hua's Experience in the Treatment of Bronchiectasis Using Weijing Decoction with Additional Subtractions
Bronchiectasis is one of the common respiratory diseases,and its main clinical symptom is coughing up pus and spu-tum and(or)repeated haemoptysis.In Chinese medicine,it belongs to the category of"Lung Carbuncle",and its main pathological mechanism is based on the deficiency of lung and spleen,with phlegm-heat agglutination as the symptom,and its pathogenesis is characterised by the mixture of deficiencies and realities.Director Zhang Hua pays attention to the idea of"neutralisation"in formu-las,emphasises the clinical use of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)prescriptions,integrates TCM classics with modem pharma-cology,and brings into play the unique advantages of TCM in the treatment of bronchiectasis in a combination of time and space.
