Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To summerize the characteristics and variability of chest X-ray manifestations in SARS patients treated with compound glycyrrhizin.METHODS:60cases of SARS were equally divided into2groups:groupⅠreceiving compound glycyrrhizin,groupⅡ(as control)receiving conventional treatment.The appearing time,site,scope and dynamic changes of the pulmonary lesions on chest radiograms were compared between2groups.RESULTS:The average period from peak to50%improvement of lesion in X-ray manifestations was shorter in groupⅠthan that in groupⅡ.In restoration stage,more patients had their X-ray findings absorbed in groupⅠcompared with the patients in groupⅡ.Compound glycyrrhizin had little influence on WBC,blood sugar and electrolytes.CONCLUSION:Glycyrrhizin may be a promising drug against SARS with less side effects.
