摘要

The school of Methodists in antiquity was accused of ignoring the characteristics of a disease. An examination of the chapter on epilepsy in the first book of chronic diseases by Caelius Aurelianus reveals that he made careful clinical observations of the symptoms of seizures, the circumstances that may provoke seizures, and the interictal symptoms of patients. With regard to treatment, he adheres to the principles of the school of Methodists. But even here, careful clinical observations result in advice on the optimal timing of treatment. In this context, he provides a description of a condition that we now call status epilepticus.
