ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin and interferon in the treatment of hand foot and mouth disease complicated with viral encephalitis .Methods 80 cases of hand foot and mouth disease complicated with viral encephalitis were randomly divided into the three groups according to the random number table .27 cases in the control group were given comprehensive symptomatic treatment ,27 cases in the study group 1 were given gamma globulin ,and 26 cases in the study group 2 were given interferon .The clinical efficacy,improvement of disease ,incidence of adverse reactions of the three groups were compared .Results Defer-vescence time ,seizure control time ,time of skin rash subsided ,time of psychiatric symptoms relieved and the average hospitalization time in the study 1 group were (3.65 ±0.28)d,(4.04 ±0.33)d,(3.86 ±0.27)d,(5.83 ±0.36)d and (7.53 ±0.83)d,which were significantly less than those in the control group (t=8.43,8.58,9.15,9.80,8.96, all P0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reaction among the three groups showed no sta-tistically significant difference (χ2 =2.17,P>0.05).Conclusion Intravenous immunoglobulin and interferon have significant effect in the treatment of hand foot mouth disease complicated with viral encephalitis , which can quickly improve symptoms ,shorten treatment time and have high safety and good clinical application value .
