Abstract: Based on the theory of principle, method and prescription of Treatise on Febrile Diseases written by Zhang Zhongjing, we analyzed the etiology and pathogenesis of COVID-19(corona virus disease 2019) that is currently prevalent. Reasonable diagnosis and treatment suggestions for prevention and control were proposed. 2019-nCoV is regard as a kind of typhoid virus, and COVID-19 should be defined as what Zhongjing called typhoid, a kind of cold-induced disorders. It is not suitable for the febrile patients infected by 2019-nCoV who are afraid of cold to cool down or diminish inflammation by intravenous fluids. The study could provide valuable guidance for the prevention and control for not only the COVID-19, but also the similar epidemic infectious diseases in the future.

Key words: COVID-19, Treatise on Febrile Diseases, prevention and control strategies, typhoid virus, cold-induced disorders
