Analysis on the Clinical Effect of Shenling Baizhu San Combined with Routine Treatment on Bacterial Pneumonia in Children

[Objectives] To explore the effect of Shenling Baizhu San combined with routine treatment on the clinical efficacy, gastrointestinal function protection, inflammatory response and immune function of children with bacterial pneumonia. [Methods] From July 2017 to January 2018, 80 children with bacterial pneumonia were randomly selected and divided into observation group and control group with 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional Western medicine, while the observation group was treated with Shenling Baizhu San on the basis of conventional treatment, with a period of 10 d. Then, we compared the clinical efficacy, incidence of gastrointestinal symptoms, WBC, CRP, CD4+ and CD8+ levels between the two groups. [Results] The clinical efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of WBC and CRP in the two groups decreased, especially in the observation group(P<0.05). After treatment, the level of CD4+ in both groups increased significantly, while the level of CD8+ decreased significantly, and the level of CD4+ in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group after treatment. The incidence of gastrointestinal symptoms in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.01). [Conclusions] Shenling Baizhu San can obviously improve the clinical effect of bacterial pneumonia in children and has the protective effect of gastrointestinal tract, and its mechanism may be related to its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.
