To compare therapeutic effects of acup-moxibustion combined with western medicine and simple western medicine on child malaria in Africa.
One hundred and thirty-two cases were randomly divided into an acup-moxibustion plus western medicine group (n = 67) and a western medication group (n = 65). The western medication group were treated with Quinoline and expectant therapy, and the acup-moxibustion plus western medicine group with acup-moxibustion plus the western medicines as those in the western medication group, and the therapeutic course was one week. Main clinical manifestations and lab examinations for malaria were compared.
The total effective rate was 97.0% in the acup-moxibustion plus western medicine group and 95.4% in the western medication group, with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05); the acup-moxibustion plus western medicine group in decreasing fever of the patient and the density of malarial parasite in blood, shorting the duration of illness and recovery time of RBC was significantly better than the western medication group (P < 0.05).
Clinical therapeutic effect of acup-moxibustion combined with western medicine is better than that of simple western medicine.
比较艾灸联合西药与单纯西药治疗非洲儿童疟疾的疗效。
将132例患者随机分为艾灸加西药组（n = 67）和西药组（n = 65）。西药组采用喹啉及对症治疗，艾灸加西药组采用艾灸加与西药组相同的西药治疗，疗程为1周。比较疟疾的主要临床表现及实验室检查情况。
艾灸加西药组总有效率为97.0%，西药组为95.4%，两组比较差异有统计学意义（P < 0.05）；艾灸加西药组在降低患者体温、降低血液中疟原虫密度、缩短病程及红细胞恢复时间方面明显优于西药组（P < 0.05）。
艾灸联合西药的临床治疗效果优于单纯西药。
