Essentials for diagnosis
(1)The patient has the history of helminthemesis or excretion of roundworms.

(2) The patient has umbilical pain with intermittent attack. Cord-shaped object or mass may be felt in the abdomen when pressed. The cord-shaped object or mass may disperse when gently rubbed. The patient has the symptoms of paroxia, emaciation, etc..

(3) Stool examination may discover eggs of roundworms. When the larvae move, leukocytosis will occur, roughly reaching (15 to 20) x 109/L. Marked eosinophilia exists, approximately amounting to 0.03 to 0.06. Larvae may be found in sputum when roundworms cause eosinophilic pneumonia.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
