“历节”新探

Brief Discussion on Li-jie

“历节”出自《金匮要略·中风历节病脉证并治》篇。从篇名可知历节病与中风有一定的联系。汉晋时期中风多以外风立论,其范围包括厉风(麻风)。从“历节”临床表现和治疗方法进行文献考证,认为“历节”当为麻风病的变态反应。

The Li-jie（severe and migratory arthalgia）was first found in the ＂simultaneously treat both pulse condition and symptoms for affection of wind pathogen from Synopsis of the Gulden Chamher＂. From this we could know that Li-jie disease had a relation with affection of wind pathogen. The affection of wind pathogen was mostly indicative to the exogenous wind-evil including Li-feng （leprosis） in the Han-Jin period. After the textual research of the literatures of the clinical manifestation and treatment method of Li-jie, it was considered that Li-jie was the allergic reaction of lepriasis.
