Abstract

Viral pneumonia (VP) is known for its wide transmission and severe pathological damage. ninety cases of VP patients were rolled into an experimental group (group E, methylprednisolone + advanced antibiotics + antiviral drugs) and a control group (group C, methylprednisolone), with 45 cases in each group. General information about the patients, inflammatory factors, serum immunoglobulins, T lymphocyte subsets, and treatment outcomes (efficiency rate, conversion rate to negative) were compared. In group E, interleukin-6 (IL-6) (0.18±0.07) ng/L was inferior to in group C (0.33±0.09) ng/L, p<0.05; tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (17.22±4.13) ng/L was inferior to group C (26.07±4.08) ng/L, p<0.05; lgA (0.81±0.22) g/L was superior to in group C (0.68±0.17) g/L, P<0.05; lgM (1.62±0.13) g/L was superior to group C (1.09±0.03) g/L, p<0.05; lgE (0.19±0.02) g/L was inferior to group C (0.23±0.03) g/L, p<0.05; CD4+/CD8+ ratio (1.71±0.33) was superior to group C (1.24±0.43), p<0.05; the total efficiency rate in group C (77.78%) was inferior to group E (97.78%), p<0.05; the conversion rate to negative of viral antigens in group E (91.11%) was superior to in group C (64.44%), p<0.05. methylprednisolone in combination with advanced antibiotics and antiviral drugs is an effective treatment approach for VP.
