Abstract: Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the common infectious diseases in clinic, with a high mortality. With the aging population, continuous variation of pathogens, and increasingly severe antibiotic resistance, the treatment difficulty of CAP continues to increase. This disease belongs to the categories of traditional Chinese medicine diseases such as " wind warm lung heat disease" and " cough". Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can effectively improve symptoms of CAP, control disease progression, shorten hospital stay, and also have certain advantages in prevention. This article mainly provides an overview of the diagnosis, etiology and pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and prevention of CAP, providing reference for the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CAP in traditional Chinese medicine.
