Clinical effect of Tanreqing injection combined with cefoperazone sulbactam in the treatment of elderly community acquired pneumonia in 50 cases

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effects of Tanreqing injection combined with cefoperazone sulbactam in the treatment of elderly community acquired pneumonia.

MethodsFifty elderly community acquired pneumonia cases, with wind warm lung heat disease phlegm heat obstructie pulmonary syndrome, were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group(25 cases each group).The control group were intravenously treated with cefoperazone sulbactam, and the treatment group was additionally treated with Tanreqing injection based on the control group for 14 days.The main clinical symptoms, signs and X-ray of chest in two groups before and after treatment were observed.

ResultsThe difference of treatment effect between two groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The recovery time of the clinical symptoms and signs in treatment group was shorter than that in control group(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01), and the result of chest X-ray showed that the absorption rate of inflammatory lesion in treatment group was higher than that in control group(P < 0.05).

ConclusionsThe treatment of elderly community acquired pneumonia with Tanreqing injection combined with cefoperazone sulbactam has good effect, short course, and no obvious side reaction.
