[Objective]To analyze Treatise on Febrile Diseases about the therapeutic principle and method,and to provide a basis and new ideas for research in this field.[Methods]By searching National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),VIP,Wanfang Database and China Biology Medicine disc(CBMdisc) from the establishment of the database to February 1,2024 to include relevant literature. Excel 2019 software was used to plot the trend of publication,CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software to plot author co-occurrence mapping,institutional co-occurrence mapping,keyword co-occurrence network,plotted keyword clustering,emergence and timeline mapping on the basis of keyword co-occurrence network mapping.[Results]Participants included 1123 references,with steady the yearly number. The included literature involves 454 authors,among which scholars such as LIN Jiakun,DAI Tianmu,and WANG Jiankang have higher publication volume,but have not formed a core author research team,and the cooperation relationship is sparse;the research institutions are mainly the major traditional Chinese medicine colleges and universities,such as Hubei University of Chinese Medicine,Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine,Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine,etc;which have not yet formed a more complete cooperation network. The included literature contains 455 keywords,including 16 keywords with a frequency of occurrence ≥ 10,and the high-frequency keywords include traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) therapy,treatment of unhealthy diseases,sweating method,purging method,and external treatment method. The keyword clustering showed that the current research hotspot in this field is the study of the relevant treatments for various types of clinical diseases.[Conclusion]The quantity of research literature on the therapeutic principles and methods in Treatise on Febrile Diseases has been steadily rising,yet high-quality research is scarce,and the collaborative network is loose. In the future,it is necessary to perfect the theoretical system,strengthen cross-team cooperation,deeply explore its historical origin,and intensify clinical application research,so as to promote the development of this field in a systematic and comprehensive direction,providing more solid theoretical support and guidance for clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine.
