Abstract:
The author believes that incubative pathogenic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of fungal keratitis.Based on the theory of incubative pathogenic factors,this article analyzed that fungal keratitis often affects the circulation of qi and blood due to the accumulation of dampness and toxin on the surface of the eyes,which obstructs the qi movement.Over time,the blood deteriorates and the flesh rots,presenting a polluted state.It also pointed out that the essence of the deep accumulation of pathogenic factors lies in the deficiency of healthy qi.In response to the above pathogenesis,this article proposed that removing turbidity and supporting healthy qi should be integrated throughout the entire treatment process of this disease:for patients with severe damage to the healthy qi,priority should be to protect the healthy qi.If there is no obvious damage to the healthy qi,or the toxicity is mild,the treatment can be used directly to avoid impurities and turbidity.And based on the pathogenic characteristics of incubative dampness and incubative pathogenic factors,specific treatment methods such as promoting qi circulation,removing turbidity and unblocking collaterals,and warming yang and supporting healthy qi were proposed for balance and selection,in order to improve the prognosis of the disease.
