ABSTRACT

It is suggested in this paper that the integrated Chinese and Western medicine (ICWM) study on infectious disease should be emphasized on fields of viral hepatitis, AIDS, bacillary phthisis and newly discovered infectious diseases, etc. clinically and theoretically, to unfold the studies of immune regulation on infectious diseases, treatment on bacteria and drug-resistant virus strain, and to promote functional and histological recovery, etc. in patients. Focusing on the weak links and shortages of modern medicine, the valuable experiences and theoretical advantages of TCM in clinical trials and mechanism studies should be brought to light so as to bring Chinese medicine into the frame of modern medicine and to contribute to the world medicine.
