Abstract:
The core pathology of human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)is progressive impairment of CD4+T lym-phocyte function.Since the digestive tract is an important target organ of HIV infection,it is susceptible to oppor-tunistic infections.Although highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART)can effectively inhibit viral replication and reduce the risk of infection,long-term use of HAART is prone to cause adverse reactions of the digestive tract,further weaken the patient's immune function,leading to a vicious circle of"virus invagination-immune im-balance-reinfection".Based on the theory of"integrating disease and syndrome differentiation with the ability to distinguish cold and heat",Professor Li Fazhi proposes that the essence of HIV infection complicated with gastro-intestinal complications is"the inversion of epidemic virus and the stagnation of qi apparatus",and emphases the importance of"through"to reconcile the deficiency and excess of cold and heat.This article summarizes the clinical pathway of treating HIV-infected digestive tract complications(such as infectious diarrhea,fungal esophagitis,etc.)with the use of meridian prescription from the perspective of infection immunology.
