Abstract:
[Objective]To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tanreqing injection in the treatment of viral pneumonia.[Methods]CNKI database, VIP database and CBM database were searched by keywords, and the obtained references were screened for clinical trials on the introduction of Tanreqing in therapy of viral pneumonia. The clinical trial results of efficacy were meta-analyzed. [Results]7 clinical trials were included, involving 604 patients, the result of Chi-Square testing was 2.21(P=0.09, I2=0%), so a fixed effect model was chosen and the results showed that Tanreqing injection showed a better clinical thera-py than control group[odd ratio (OR):5.45, 95% confidence interval (CI): (2.89, 10.27), Z=5.25, P<0.00001]. No serious adverse effects were reported. [Conclusion]Tanreqing was more effective and safer in the treatment of viral pneumonia according to our results. However, higher quality clinical studies are needed as most trials included in this review are of lower quality.
