湿邪与小儿哮喘的相关性

Correlation Between Dampness and Pediatric Asthma

小儿哮喘内因责之于"伏痰",与肺、脾、肾三脏功能不足有关;外因则与六淫之邪、饮食调护、环境因素、情志因素等有关。湿邪与小儿哮喘具有重要的相关性,主要包括:脾虚生湿酿痰,上贮于肺,留为伏痰;肺脏气机失调,湿由内生,哮喘迁延;肾虚水湿上泛,聚而为痰,动则为喘;湿邪侵袭肺卫,触动伏痰,发为哮喘。无论内伤或外感,湿邪在小儿哮喘的发生发展中起到了不可忽视的作用,故在本病的治疗中应注意祛湿方药的使用。

The internal cause of pediatric asthma is the insidious sputum in lung,which is related to deficiency of lung,spleen,kidney,while the external pathogenic factors are the Six Evils in TCM,diet,environment,emotions and so on. There is a significant correlation between dampness and pediatric asthma,in which dampness factors include sputum production due to Spleen deficiency,sputum storage due to Lung deficiency,water invasion due to Kidney deficiency,all of which would lead to asthma. In a word,both the internal and the exogenous dampness play a vital role in the development of pediatric asthma. Therefore,in treatment of the disease the prescriptions functioning in dispelling dampness should be used frequently.
