Synopsis

It is another epoch-making treatise on exogenous diseases in the history of medicine 1,400 years after "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" was written. It recognized for the first time that febrile disease is infected with hostility and is contagious, and pioneered the theory of febrile disease. Many later treatises on febrile diseases were influenced and inspired by this book.

Reader comments

Wu Youxing said, "The location of evil is affected by heaven and infected. Although the symptoms are different, the disease is the same." This sentence really makes sense. Moreover, the book also mentions that the onset and spread of plague are related to climate, geography and other factors. I think this book is very helpful for us to understand and prevent infectious diseases. I recommend it to you!
