关于证候定义的三点商榷

Three Discussion Opinions about the Concept of Chinese Clinical Syndrome

对证候定义研究中存在的问题进行剖析,提出三点商榷意见。首先,“证”是病理学概念,不是诊断学概念。其次,“证”发生在病人身上,并非由诊断“概括”出来。第三,应当把内在的病理改变与外在疾病征象区别开来。

To analyze the problems occurring in the study of concept of Chinese clinical syndrome, put forward three discussion opinions. First, Chinese clinical syndrome is a concept of pathology instead of diagnose. Second, Chinese clinical syndrome happens in the body of patient, not being generalized by diagnose. Third, the internal pathological changes should be discriminated from the external clinical symptoms.
