Randomized Controlled TrialClinical Efficacy of Early Administration of Human Immunoglobulin on Children with Severe Hand-foot-mouth Disease.
The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of early administration of human immunoglobulin in children with severe hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and its influence on serum c-reactive protein (CRP), creatine kinase (CK), and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB). One hundred and forty children with severe HFMD were randomly divided into Group A (n=70) and Group B (n=70) according to the random number table method. Group A was treated with routine treatment. ⋯ The total clinical effective rate of Group B was 92.9%, which was higher than that of Group A (80.0%, p=0.026). Early administration of human immunoglobulin may reduce the levels of serum markers CRP, CK, and CK-MB in children with severe HFMD. Key Words: Human immunoglobulin, Children, HFMD (Hand, foot and mouth disease).
