The paper summarizes the theoretical basis of the Compound Method Theory proposed by the first TCM master Professor Zhou Zhongying for the treatment of exogenous febrile diseases.The theoretical basis is the rapid development of the disease and its continuity;pathological factors are intertwined and mutually causal;the disease is retained and transmitted,and multiple organs are re-lated;the condition is critical and dangerous,with a mix of ups and downs.The key points of applying the complex method are to iden-tify pathological factors and distinguish between the primary and secondary factors;identify the location of the disease and pay attention to the relationship between pathogenic factors and positive factors;clarify the excess and deficiency of cold and heat,in order to a-chieve a peaceful balance between yin and yang;predict the spread of the disease and promptly intercept and reverse it.The commonly used compound methods for external febrile diseases,such as clearing qi fen and cooling ying fen,resolving the exterior and interior,and promoting the upper,dispersing the middle,and guiding the lower were proposed.The treatment of severe external febrile diseases such as syncope and prolapse was also carried out using the methods of promoting qi and blood circulation,strengthening healthy qi and consolidating the body.

This study was aimed to observe influence on clinical symptoms of Qing-Fei Pei-Yuan Wei-Wan (QFPY-WW) for pulmonary infection HIV/AIDS cases with the syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung. A total of 141 pulmonary infection HIV/AIDS cases with the syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung were randomly divided into the treatment group (94 cases) and the control group (47 cases). The treatment group was given basic western medication combined with QFPYWW. The control group was given basic western medication. After 4 weeks treat-ment, observation was made on changes of main symptoms. The results showed that on the 28th day, compared with the control group, there was improvement on symptoms such as cough, breathing and chest tightness (P< 0.05). Com-parison on coughing up phlegm degree showed that the treatment group was significantly better than the control group (P< 0.05). On the 7th day treatment, the treatment group had better effect on lowering body temperature than the control group (P< 0.05). It was concluded that QFPYWW can improve symptoms such as cough, breathing, chest tightness and cough up phlegm among pulmonary infection HIV/AIDS patients.
