Influenza A(H1N1)2009 strain caused pandemics worlwide has been introduced in October 2009 into Mongolia and replaced by influenza B virus in February 2010 and A(H3N2) virus in October 2010. A new variant of pandemic A(H1N1) virus has been revealed in Mongolia in January 2011 and has been in a short circulation causing a minor epidemics.

A new paradigm containing progresses, unique opinions can be seen on pages of “The Mongolian Four Medical Tantras” written by Sumbe khanba Ishbaljor, and "Satisfaction for the Readers" or Uzegsdiin Bayasgalan by Jigmeddanzanjamts and "Secrets of Prescription Recipes" or Uvidasyn Dalai by Mindol Jambal. These scholars reflected new concepts that were not specifically clear in the Four Fundamentals such as warm and cold diseases which were the basis to categorize cold and common diseases and treat them differently, and the theoretical and practical understanding of the categorization of infectious diseases, in their book. In order to clarify their paradigm, let’s refer to some historical pages. According to resources we found, Sumbe khamba Ishbaljor detailed a number of new theoretical and practical concepts which were never or seldom mentioned in The Four Medical Tantras, in his book Rashaany Dusal (Essence of the Medical Tantra). He expanded the list of common diseases from 3 wind (khii), bile (shar), phlegm (badgan) to 6 (wind, bile, phlegm, blood, yellow fluid (shar us), nyan or khorkhoi (virus and bacteria) and prescribed treatments for each of them. Also he established a concept of 10 important diseases and gave them satiric names making them easy to read and understand as well as taught the ways to treat them.
