The western medicine are main drugs in treatment of infectious diseases, but the combination of Traditional Chinese and western medicine are used in China. In recent years, proportion of proprietary Chinese medicine increased significantly in this field. However, the classification of proprietary Chinese medicine and matching with the counterparts of western medicine were difficult, and the package inserts were less scientific and normative. By searching the terms of "Qing kai ling" and "Infection", the paper found the quality of post-marketing clinical researches was low. The use proportion of Qing kai ling combined with other drugs was more than 50%, 70% of which was western medicine. The further studies are needed to explore some proprietary Chinese medicine with obvious competitive advantage and improve the quality of methodology and reporting, in order to standardize and guide the rational use of proprietary Chinese medicine in infectious diseases.
