论中医“症状性病名”的合理性

Discussion on the rationality of “disease name in symptomatology” in traditional Chinese medicine

症状性病名是病名演变过程中的必然阶段,也是以症状为纲目编撰医籍的需要,虽然症状性病名因症病概念混淆饱受诟病,但基于症状性病名仍有其存在的合理性和必要性,当前临床的关键问题是如何在继续继承及发展症状性病名同时,综合应用中医诊断基本要素、西医病名诊断与客观检查指标,弥补症状性病名应用短板。

The disease name in symptomatology is an inevitable stage in the process of disease name evolution. It is also the necessity of compiling medical records based on symptoms. Although the concept of disease name in symptomatology is widely criticized because of its confusion,the disease name in symptomatology still has its rationality and necessity. At present,the key problem in clinical practice is how to continue to inherit and develop the disease name in symptomatology and comprehensively apply the basic elements of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis,western medicine disease name diagnosis and objective examination index,to make up for the lack of application of the disease name in symptomatology.
