Kangfuxin Liquid combined with conventional treatment for infantile herpetic stomatitis / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of buccal administration of Kangfuxin Liquid combined with conventional treatment for infantile herpetic stomatitis. Method A total of 103 infantiles with herpetic stomatitis were randomly divided into a Kangfuxin group (51 cases) and a conventional group (52 cases). The conventional group received ribavirin aerosol, and the Kangfuxin group recived buccal administration of Kangfuxin Liquid based on the intervention of convertional group. All children were treated for 5 days. The white blood cell count (WBC) and the serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were determined. Result The total efficiency rate in the Kangfuxin group was significantly higher than that in the conventional group (94.1% vs. 78.8%,χ2=3.895, P<0.05). The healing time of oral ulcers (5.8 ± 1.3 d vs. 7.9 ± 1.5 d, t=10.715), body temperature recovery time (2.1 ± 1.1 d vs. 3.3 ± 1.5 d, t=4.623), and eliminating time of oral mucosal hyperemia and edema (4.3 ± 1.3 d vs. 5.3 ± 1.4 d, t=3.755) in the Kangfuxin group was significantly shorter than those in the conventional treatment group (P<0.01). The WBC (6.5×109 ± 2.2×109/L vs. 9.4×109 ± 2.3×109/L, t=6.537) and serum CRP levels (6.7 ± 1.2 mg/L vs. 9.7 ± 2.5 mg/L, t=12.686) were significantly lower in the Kangfuxin group was significantly lower than those in the conventional treatment group (P<0.01). Conclusions The total efficiency rate of buccal administration of Kangfuxin Liquid combined with conventional treatment for infantile herpetic stomatitis was higher than conventional treatment alone. And the remission time of symptoms of treatment group was shorter.
