"百日咳"名称来源考

The origin of the name "100-day cough"

近现代很多文献持"百日咳"一称出自中国医书的观点,甚至认为早在隋朝典籍中就有关于百日咳的描述。通过回顾典籍原文,可知这些解读有误。中国传统典籍对百日咳的描述和文献年代分布特征与西医学相似,始于约500年前,此后记录愈发翔实具体。国内医界对此病有多种命名,没有统一使用"百日咳"作为病名的迹象和证据。文献记录显示"百日咳"首先在日本成为一个较为公认的疾病名称,并通过医学教育的直接输入,进入中国西医学现代教育课本。

Many studies in modern times claim that the name"100-day cough"is from traditional Chinese medicine,and even think that there is a description of pertussis as early as the Sui Dynasty classics.By reviewing the original texts of the classics,we found that these interpretations are not exactly.The description of the pertussis and the chronological distribution of the literature in traditional Chinese books are similar to those of Western medicine.They started about 500 years ago,and then become more detailed and specific.The domestic medical community has a variety of nomenclature for this disease,and there is no sign or evidence to uniformly use"100-day cough"as the disease name.The literature records suggest that"100-day cough"first became a more recognized disease name in Japan,and through the direct input of medical education,entered the modern medical textbooks of western medicine in China.
