Effect of Fuzheng Gubiao Decoction Combined with Plastering Therapy in Treating Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infection
Objective: To observe the effect of Fuzheng Gubiao decoction combined with plastering therapy in treating recurrent respiratory tract infection (RRTI) and its influence on immunologic function and trace elements. Method: One hundred and fifty patients were divided into control group (75 cases) and observation group (75 cases) by random number table. Both groups were given antibiotic
antivirus
defervescence
and antitussive treatment and fluid infusion during acute infection period. Both group's patients took Pidotimod oral solution. Patients in control group received Yupingfeng oral liquid
5-10 mL/time
3 times/day. Patients in observation group took Fuzheng Gubiao decoction combined with plastering therapy. Courses of treatment lasted for 16 weeks. And a 32-week following-up was conducted. Onset frequency
days of morbidity and disease type were recorded within 48 weeks. Lung-spleen deficiency syndromes were scored. Levels of serum immunoglobulins IgA
IgG
IgM
T-lymphocyte
complement component C3 and C4
Ca
Fe
Zn
Mg and Cu were detected. Result: The total effective rate in observation group was 94.29%
which was superior to 82.09%in control group (P<0.05). During the 48-week following-up visit
mean onset frequency in observation group were less than that in control group
and mean disease course was shorter than that in control group
disease severity was also lower than that in control group (P<0.01). After treatment
levels of CD3+
CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in observation group were higher than those in control group
but level of CD8+was lower than that in control group (P<0.01). Levels of IgG
IgA and IgM were higher than those in control group (P<0.01). There were no statistical significant differences in levels of C3
C4 and Cu between the two groups. Levels of Ca
Fe
Zn and Mg in observation group were higher than those in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Fuzheng Gubiao decoction combined with plastering therapy can improve immunity
