Abstract

To evaluate the therapeutic effect of INF on mumps encephalitis in children, 86 eases of mumps encephalitis wererandomly divided into two groups in order to compare the effects of INF and that of rihavirin. The recovery time of fever was 2.1± 0.52 days. The recovery time of parotid gland enlargement was 3.5±0.82 days. The recovery time of nervous system symptoms was 1.62±0.75 days. The comparison showed that the therapeutic effects of IFN was superior to that of ribavirin(P＜0.05).
