文摘目的探讨细菌溶解产物与玉屏风颗粒对咳嗽变异性哮喘(cough variant asthma,CVA)患儿的疗效。方法选取108例CVA患儿作为研究对象,用随机数字表法分为西药组与联合组,每组54例。西药组接受CVA常规治疗,观察组采用细菌溶解产物联合玉屏风颗粒治疗,连续治疗2个月。比较2组的临床疗效、肺功能[用力肺活量(forced vital capacity,FVC)、第1秒用力呼气容积(forced expiratory volume in first second,FEV_(1))、呼气峰流量(peak expiratory flow,PEF)]、免疫功能[免疫球蛋白A(immunoglobulin A,IgA)、免疫球蛋白G(immunoglobulin G,IgG)和免疫球蛋白M(immunoglobulin M,IgM)]水平、儿童哮喘生存质量问卷(pediatric asthma quality of life questionnaire,PAQLQ)的变化以及不良反应。结果联合组的总有效率为92.60%,明显高于西药组的77.78%(P<0.05);FVC、FEV_(1)、PEF、IgA、IgG、IgM以及PAQLQ评分均明显高于西药组(P<0.05);2组患儿药物不良反应发生率比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论细菌溶解产物联合玉屏风颗粒可有效提高CVA患儿的临床疗效,改善其肺部功能及免疫功能,提高患儿的生活质量。
