Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Poria-Polyporus anti-diarrhea oral liquor (PPAOL) in treating infantile rotavirus diarrhea.Methods: PPAOL was administered to treat 30 cases of infantile rotavirus diarrhea, the effect was observed and compared with that of Smecta. And human rotavirus RNA of patients was detected.Results: The effective rate of the PPAOL group was 83.33 % and that of Smecta group was 90.00%. There was no significant difference between the effect of the two groups in respect of the duration of fever and diarrhea. Human rotavirus RNA showed positive result in 13 patients of PPAOL group and 19 in Smecta group. The duration of virus excretion in both groups was 2~7 days, which was much shorter than 9~21 days in the previous report.Conclusion: PPAOL is effective in treating infantile rotavirus diarrhea.
