Methods： Based on conventional ways of Western medical treatments of 18 cases of severe post-kidney-transplant lung infection, such as putting the patients in single individual ward, antibiotics to prevent infection, respiratory machines, blood filtration, nutritional support, steroids, and maintaining electrolytes balance, we applied integrated Chinese medicinal treatments, like altering conventional prescription ＂pneumonia Ⅲ ＂, and conducted clinical observation of effectiveness, and indexes including white blood cell （WBC）, neutrophilic granulocyte, blood urea nitrogen （BUN）, blood creatinine （Or）, etc. Results： Of the 18 cases studied, 7 were already cured, 8 proved the treatment effective, 3 died. All clinical indexes had statistically significant changes compared with those of before treatment （P〈0. 01 ）. Cenclusien. ICWM can increase curing rate and lower death rate.展开更多
