Effect of heat phlegm and nourishing Yin combined with glucocorticoids in the treatment of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of phlegm and nourishing Yin combined with glucocorticoids in the treatment of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children .Methods 134 children with Mycoplasma pneumonia were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number , 67 cases in each group .The control group were given hydrocortisone ,and the observation group received phlegm and nourishing Yin combined with glucocorticoid .After intervention ,the clinical data and the improvement of the clinical symptoms of the two groups were compared .Results There was no statistically significant difference in antipyretic time between the two groups(P>0.05).The time of cough relief,the absorption time of lung rales,the disappearance time of pleural effusion of the observation group were (3.61 ±1.13) d,(6.52 ±1.90) d and (7.02 ±2.10) d, respectively,which were significantly shorter than those of the control group [(4.89 ±2.18)d,t=2.920,P=0.021;(8.24 ±2.75)d,t=3.108,P=0.000;(9.26 ±2.38)d,t=5.027,P=0.000].There were no statistically signifi-cant differences in the total white blood cell count ,C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate between the two groups(all P>0.05).The percentage of lymphocytes in the observation group [(55.25 ±4.91)％] was signifi-cantly higher than that in the control group [(50.16 ±4.83)％,t=2.597,P=0.037].The effective treatment rate in the observation group was 97.01％,which was significantly higher than 83.58％in the control group (χ26.849,P=0.009).Conclusion Heat phlegm and nourishing Yin combined with glucocorticoid can not only effectively improve the patients'clinical symptoms , improve the proportion of lymphocyte , but also can improve the overall efficacy of children,it is worthy of clinical promotion .
