Methods： After 55 cases of confirmed sick infants were divided into two groups by the order of their visits, 30 cases in the medication group were treated by intravenous infusion of Ribavirin and oral administration of Smecta; 25 cases in the tuina plus medication group were treated by the manual techniques of tonifying Pijing（脾经） and clarifying Dachangjing （大肠经）, rubbing the abdomen and kneading the navel clockwise, pushing Shangqijiegu （上七节骨）, kneading Guiwei （龟尾）, and pinching the skin of the spine, in combination with same medications used as in the medication group. Results： The total effective rate was 96% in the tuina plus medication group, P 〈 0.01, in comparison with the medication group. Conclusion： tuina has a good therapeutic effect in the treatment of infantile diarrhea induced by rotavirus infection and is importantly significant for shortening the course, enhancing the therapeutic effect and lowering down the medical cost.展开更多
