Clinical Observation of Reduning Combined with Recombinant Human Interferon -2b in the Treatment of Children with Viral Pneumonia.

PURPOSE

To observe the clinical efficacy of Reduning injection combined with recombinant human interferon -2b spray in the treatment of children with viral pneumonia.

METHODS

A total of 200 children with viral pneumonia over 2 years old who were admitted to the Pediatrics Department of the Cangzhou Central Hospital from September 2018 to November 2020 were recruited and randomized into the control group and observation group at a ratio of 1 : 1, with 100 cases in each group. The children in the control group were given recombinant human interferon -2b spray, and the children in the observation group were given Reduning injection on the basis of the control group. The clinical symptoms and signs, clinical efficacy, levels of inflammatory mediators, and drug safety were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS

The -test results showed that the disappearance time of body temperature, respiratory rate, pulmonary rales, and cough in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group. The chi-square revealed a significantly higher total effective rate in the observation group vs. the control group. After treatment, the levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-, and CRP in the two groups were lower than the corresponding values before treatment, and greater reduction was observed in the observation group in relative to the control group (both < 0.05). The two groups have a similar safety profile.

CONCLUSION

Reduning combined with recombinant human interferon -2b produces a remarkable effect in the treatment of children with viral pneumonia, and it ameliorates clinical symptoms and reduces inflammatory response with a good safety profile.
