Observation on the Therapeutic Effect of Sangma Erchong decoction on Community Acquired Pneumonia Patients with syndrome of wind-heat invading lung
Sichuan Integrative Medicine Hospital(Chengdu 610041,Sichuan)Abstract:Objective:To evaluate the effi-cacy and safety of Sangma Erchong decoction in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia(CAP)patients with syndrome of wind-heat invading lung.Method:A total of 116patients with CAP(lung syndrome caused by wind and heat)treated in our hospital from May 2021to December 2021were divided into the treatment group(58cases)and the control group(58cases)ac-cording to the random number table method.The control group was given conventional western medicine treatment,and the obser-vation group was treated with Sanma Erzhi decoction on the basis of western medicine treatment.The total effective rate,tradition-al Chinese medicine symptom scores of fever,cough,expectoration and pulmonary infection score(CPIS)were compared be-tween the two groups.The antipyretic time,cough disappearance time and expectoration disappearance time,procalcitonin(PCT),white blood cell count(WBC)and C-reactive protein(CRP)levels were compared between the two groups.Mean-while,the adverse reactions of the two groups were observed and recorded.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of fever,cough,expectoration and CPIS in the two groups were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and those in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The antipyretic time,cough and expectoration disappearance time of the observa-tion group were significantly shorter than those of the control group(P<0.05).The levels of WBC,CRP and PCT in the two groups were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and those in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).During the treatment period,one patient in the treatment group had transient dizziness and nause-a after the first oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine,and the blood pressure was normal,which relieved spontane-ously after rest.No obvious adverse reactions occurred in the control group.Conclusion:Sangma Erchong Decoction in the treat-ment of CAP can improve the curative effect,shorten the course of disease,reduce the level of inflammatory factors,and has no obvious adverse reactions.
