Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical effect of intravenous immunoglobulin combined with conventional therapy in the treatment of severe pneumonia in infants and children.Methods:Selected the January 2015 to April 2016 in our hospital for treatment of 88 cases of children with severe pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed,which 47 cases by routine treatment plus intravenous immunoglobulin protein (treatment group),41 cases of children only take routine therapy (control group),with a course of 2 weeks.Results:The symptoms of fever,dyspnea,cough,wheezing,pulmonary rales were improved faster in the treatment group than the control group (P<0.05);after 2 weeks of treatment,IgG levels were significantly higher in the treatment group than the control group(P<0.05);after 2 weeks of treatment,the serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were significantly lower in the treatment group than the control group(P< 0.05);after 1 week of treatment,57.45% of patients was cured in the treatment groups while only 34.15% patients in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:Intravenous immunoglobulin combined with conventional therapy in the treatment of infants with severe pneumonia can significantly improve the theraputic effect and enhance blood immunoglobulin levels.
