Treatment of fever in elderly pneumonia patients based on theory of "yingfen heat"
The theory of "yingfen heat" describes a characteristic fever pattern seen in yingfen syndrome, characterized by moderate heat, a pattern of higher fever at night, and susceptibility to recurrence. The fever associated with certain types of elderly pneumonia shares similarities with the characteristics of yingfen heat, presenting as a low-grade fever. The pathogenesis is attributed to yin deficiency-induced heat and blood stasis-induced heat. Treatment should focus on nourishing yin while clearing the yingfen, expelling heat from the yingfen and transferring it to the qifen, concurrently promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis to reduce fever. The modified formula Qingying Decoction is suggested. Approaching the treatment of elderly pneumonia from the perspective of yingfen heat provides new insights for treating fever in elderly pneumonia patients.
