Objective: To explore the effect of Shenling Baishu San combined with antibiotics on inflammatory factors
immune function and clinical efficacy in senile community-acquired pneumonia with syndrome of Qi deficiency of both lung and spleen. Method: From January 2014 to January 2016
236 CAP patients were included. They were randomly divided into control group (118 cases) and treatment group (118 cases) by random number table. Treatment group and control group were respectively treated with Shenling Baishu San plus moxifloxacin and moxifloxacin for 10 days. The clinical curative effect and the changes of inflammatory mediators and immunity levels in two groups were observed. Result: The total effective rate and the bacterial clearance rate of treatment group were both higher than those of control group (P < 0.05)
and the clinical recovery time of treatment group was lower than that of control group (P < 0.05). After treatment
levels of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6)
tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)
procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in treatment group were lower than those in control group (P < 0.05). After treatment
serum immunoglobulin A (IgA)
immunoglobulin M (IgM)
CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels were increased in treatment group
which were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.05); CD8+ level was decreased in both groups
and the level in treatment group was significantly lower than that of control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Shenling Baishu San combined with antibiotics has a remarkable effect in the treatment of senile community-acquired pneumonia with syndrome of Qi deficiency of both lung and spleen
with an important role in inhibiting the body's inflammatory response and enhancing the immune function.
