examination: Not provided.
Diagnostic Basis:
TCM: The patient
has suffered from muscular contraction and weakness of the lower
limbs, accompanied with difficulty in walking for 2 years, and
the condition has been aggravated for one month. Due to
liver-kidney yin vacuity, the essence-blood could not nourish
his sinews and vessels, and then it gradually results in
flaccidity. As a result, his essence withers and the sinews
become dry, and the muscles of the legs decrease. Then the
patient keeps a poor spirit. Since the liver and kidneys are in
charge of bones engendering essence. With the deficiency of the
marrow-essence, the patient feels aching pains of the lumbus and
knees with difficulty in walking. The patient¡¯s tongue was red
with little tongue coating. There were cracks in the middle of
the tongue with teeth marks at the edge of the tongue. The pulse
was deep, thready and weak.

Diagnostic
Differentiation:
TCM: The patient¡¯s
wilting syndrome should be differentiated from impediment
syndrome. In the late period of impediment syndrome, because of
aching limbs joints, the patient can not do any movements. The
limbs are out of work for such a long time and the muscles are
weak and atrophic, which is similar to flaccidity. But
impediment syndrome is generally characterized by painful
joints. The patients who suffer from wilting syndrome feel that
the limbs are weak and limp. In general, there is no pain in
limbs joints. They are not difficult to be distinguished in
clinics.
Western
medicine: Wilting syndrome should be differentiated from
myasthenia gravis, which is an acquired autoimmune disease with
the transferring obstacles of nerve-muscles, and is caused by
the autoimmune reaction resulting from the acetylcholine
receptor (AchR) of the striated muscle. It can occur at any age
and there are about 60 percent people stricken before 30 years
old. Women are more often affected than men are. The most
obvious characteristics of MG are rapid fatigability of the
affected skeletal muscles, and will be improved with rest or
medicines that inhibit the activity of cholinesterase. MG
patients of different ages often have different clinical
manifestations and courses, which are different from those of
wilting syndrome patients.
