OBJECTIVE
To search for an effective therapy for regular fever of unclear cause without obviating malaria in Tanzania.
METHODS
Eighty-one cases of regular fever of unclear cause at 7 pm-6 am. Based on TCM syndrome differentiation, they were treated by injection of Compound Aminopyrine Injection (2 mL), Chaihu Injectio (2 mL) into Dazhui (GV 14), Taodao (GV 13) and Jianshi (PC 5), respectively. Their therapeutic effects were observed.
RESULTS
Seventy-six cases were effective, accounting for 93.8%, 3 cases were ineffective, accounting for 3.7%, and 2 cases (2.5%) were unclear because they were unable to be followed up.
CONCLUSIONS
Point-injection is an economic, effective and convenient treatment method for regular fever of unclear cause without obviating malaria in the epidemic-stricken area of popular drug dependence for chemical anti-malaria agents.
