摘要
Objective: To probe into the mechanism on TCM treatment of infectious atypical pneumonia (severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS) and evaluate its feasibility and effectiveness. Method: Twelve TCM prescriptions of herbal drugs (orally or iv) were used to treat 16 cases of SARS without using glucocorticoids, anti-viral agents, immune-regulators or antibiotics (in case there was no definite bacterial infections). The symptoms, signs, chest roentgenograms and lab examinations were carefully monitored and recorded for evaluation of the effectiveness. Results: The average fever abatement time was 4.44±1.46days and the mean absorption time of gross pulmonary infiltration was 10.87±2.92 days. No exacerbation occurred during the treatment. Conclusion: TCM intervention could effectively control and alleviate the symptoms and prevent the disease from exacerbation.
