Abstract：Sepsis is a critical emergency in clinic characterized by high morbidity and mortality rate.The major pathogenesis is immune disorder.In recent years,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)applied for immunomodulation in sepsis has become a emerging hotspot.Based on the modern micro-mechanism of immune disorders,in this paper the correlation between sepsis and interaction of yin and yang in TCM were explored from three aspects:pathogenesis,clinical manifestations and transmission in viscera.Sepsis can be classified into the category of interaction of the yin and yang in TCM.Two major treatment principles,"purging heat"and"supplementing yin",were proposed.Based on comprehensive assessment of disease transmission,deficiency and excess of healthy qi,and accumulation of pathological products,clearing heat and detoxification,tonifying qi and nourishing yin are the major principle,assisted with treating other pathological factors such as phlegm and stasis.Throughout the treatment process,it is essential to protect stomach qi and the bitter and cold medicinals should be applied cautiously.
