Objectives : Dryness pathogen, which is one of six pathogenic factors, causes dryness diseases. Currently, the theory on dryness disease is composed of external dryness and internal dryness. External dryness, in turn, is composed of cool dryness and warm dryness. However, these categorizations and their symptoms bear ambiguity for many reasons. Therefore, this paper aims to review various texts in order to study the special features of dryness pathogen and dryness disease. Methods : Texts that deal with dryness pathogen and dryness disease were studied. Most texts are comprised of dissertations and historical medical texts, therefore, CNKI and The Sikuquanshu's databases, and Traditional Chinese Medical(TCM) book webdatabases were utilized. Materials are listed in chronological order, and their main points regarding dryness pathogen and dryness disease are compared. Results & Conclusions : It is difficult to accept the assertion that dryness pathogen does not lead to external dryness. Dryness does not have the elements of chill and fever in itself. Dryness's elements of chill and fever are determined in the ways they combine with each individual element. Moreover, the symptoms of chill and fever on dryness disease are subject to the host's body type. External dryness and internal dryness cannot be discussed within an identical premise. Whereas the dryness in external dryness signifies the cause of a disease, the dryness in internal dryness is the consequence of a disease. In other words, internal dryness revolves around cause of disease and external dryness revolves around the mechanic of disease. It's difficult to determine whether these diseases are caused by dryness or wetness in Autumn. There is an understanding which integrates these together through the Yunqi theory, but it is imperfect.

Objectives: Tsutsugamushi disease is one of the most significant acute febrile illnesses, increasing in frequency of occurrence during the late autumn in rural areas of Korea. Methods: I have conducted a case-control study on 30 cases who had the fever as a chief complaint, then had been ruled out as having the Tsutsugamushi disease. Data was collected retrospectively by review of chart regarding their general characteristics, clinical and laboratory findings, then was analysed by chi-test. Results: Of 30 cases, 16 cases were seropositive and 14 cases were seronegative against O. tsutsugamushi. Of seropositive for tsutsugamushi disease, 56.3% were female; 37.5% were in their seventies; 50.0% were farmers; 62,6% had chances of exposure to fields or mountains. And 75.0% occurred in November. The main symptoms and signs were fever and chill(100.0%), headache(75.0%). weakness and fatigue(93.8%), and eschar(68.8%). The characteristic laboratory findings were elevated AST(50.0%), ALT(62.5%), and abnormal urinalysis(56.3%). On the other hand, of seronegative cases, 57.1% were male; 50.0% were in their fifties; 42.9% were farmers; 57.2% had chances of exposure to fields or mountains. And 71.4% occurred in November. The symptoms and signs were fever and chill(100.0%), headache(85.7%), eschar(64.3%). weakness, fatigue and skin(57.1%). The laboratory findings were elevated AST(71.4%) and ALT(64.3%), and abnormal urinalysis(42.9%). However, there were no significant differences between the seropositive and seronegative cases(P>.05). Conclusions: Acute febrile community inhabitants who have the epidemiological, clinical as well as laboratory features should be focused upon for the early diagnosis and treatment for tsutsugamushi disease whether or not possessing the serological antibody against O. tsutsugamushi.
