ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical efficacy of the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine for extended -spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs ) bacterial infection associated pneumonia.Methods 80 patients with ESBLs bacterial infection associated pneumonia in our hospital from January 2015 to June 2016 were randomized into the control group (western medicine routine treatment)and the observation group (treatment of traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine)according to the random number method,40 patients in each group.The disappearance time of clinical symptoms and signs and hospitalization time, sputum culture results,and the clinical efficacy of treatment in the two groups were compared.Results Compared with the control group,the disappearance time of cough[(6.5 ±1.3)d vs (8.2 ±1.5)d],t=4.38,P<0.05],fever [(5.1 ±1.2)d vs (6.8 ±1.4)d,t=4.19,P<0.05],pulmonary rales[(6.2 ±1.3)d vs (7.8 ±1.6)d,t=4.27,P<0.05]and the hospitalization time[(9.1 ±1.3)d vs (11.8 ±1.6)d,t=5.06,P<0.05]were significantly reduced in the observation group.Compared with the control group,the negative rates of pneumonia klebsiella (25.0% vs 8.0%,χ2 =4.30,P<0.05)and Escherichia coli (70.0%vs 60.0%,χ2 =4.75,P<0.05)in sputum were obviously increased in the observation group.Compared with the control group,the markedly effective rate of treatment was significantly improved in the observation group(92.5%vs 75.0%,χ2 =4.50,P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine can significantly increase the clinical efficacy of ESBLs bacterial infection associated pneumonia,improve the negative rates of sputum bacteria,and it is worthy of clinical promotion.
