In120Cases Of Children With Cough Variant Asthma Analysis Of TCM Syndrome

Cough Variant Asthma (CVA) also called as hidden asthma or cough-typed asthma is the special type of asthma and could be the precursor performance of typical asthma. CVA is a common pediatric disease with clinical characteristic of continuous, repeatable and stubborn cough without gasp or dyspnea. The latest primary western medicine therapy mainly contains adrenal cortical hormone, leukotriene receptor antagonist and Beta agonists with disadvantage in some certain side-effects with long-term application and easy recurrence after drug withdrawal. However, TCM has some advantage in boosting the health and immunity of children of CVA and ameliorating their symptoms and prognosis, etc. More and more literature on syndrome differentiation of pediatric CVA comes out, while industry standards such as The Criterions for Diagnosis and Curative Effect of TCM Diseases and Terminology of Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment haven’t issued the standard of syndrome differentiation of TCM. That is to say, there’s no unifonn TCM syndrome type and differentiation method. Thus, this subject tried to study the clinical syndrome differentiation of pediatric CVA scientifically and systemically.Objective:To study the regularity of TCM syndrome type of pediatric CVA.Methods:To select120children meeting up with the western medicine standards of pediatric CVA from pediatric clinics, Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2011/4-2012/4). To collect their symptoms, signs, tongue coating and pulse, etc. To statistics and analyze the data by frequency analysis with SPSS18.0statistics software package.Results:Among120children of pediatric CVA,73cases were of Deficiency of Yin and Phlegm-damp Remaining Syndrome (60.83%),33cases of Deficiency of Both Qi and Yin Syndrome (27.5%),5cases of Phlegm-heat Obstructing the Lung Syndrome (4.17%),5cases of Heat Accumulating in the Lung and Spleen Syndrome (4.17%) and4cases of Phlegm-damp Accumulating in the Lung Syndrome (3.33%). Conclusions:1According to the general information based on investigation results of120children of CVA, preschool children aged3to6were with a high morbidity.2To differentiate120children of CVA by TCM syndrome differentiation, predominantly with73cases of Deficiency of Yin and Phlegm-damp Remaining Syndrome (60.83%) and33cases of Deficiency of Both Qi and Yin Syndrome (27.5%).3To statistic and analyze120children of CVA with the findings that the risk factors of suffering from CVA are positive personal or family allergic history and those inducing and aggravating cough are exercise, cold air stimulation and common cold.
