Abstract
Objective To explore the treatment on infantile intractable diarrhea with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.Methods: Paired control method was used to study 54 cases of infantile intractable diarrhea patients, who were randomly divided into the treated group and the control group (western medicine treated group). The treated group was further subdivided into two syndrome-types: Spleen deficiency diarrhea type and Spleen-Kidney Yang deficiency diarrhea type, and modified Shenling Baizhu powder
and Sijunzi decoction
with modified Sishen pill
were used for them respectively, while the control group was given only the conventional western drugs. At the same time, immunoglobulin (IG) and T lymphocyte transformation rate (TLTR) were observed.Results: Before treatment, IgG, IgA and TLTR of all the patients in both groups were lowered; after treatment, all of them improved, and the improvement of the treated group was more significant than that of control group (P<0.01). In the treated group, the cure rate and total effective rate were significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01).Conclusion: Using integrated traditional Chinese and western method, the immune function of the patients were enhanced, and the function of Spleen-Stomach was recuperated, therefore satisfactory results were reached.
