[Clinical and experimental study on Yinhua mixture aerosol in treating infantile viral pneumonia].
OBJECTIVE
To explore the therapeutic effect of using Yinhua mixture aerosol in treating infantile viral pneumonia and its mechanism.


METHODS
Comparing sixty-nine infantile viral pneumonia patients using Yinhua mixture aerosol with 33 infantile viral pneumonia patients using gentamycin, pharmacodynamical animal experiments of anti-tussis and anti-asthma were also observed.


RESULTS
The markedly effective rate of Yinhua mixture aerosol and gentamycin aerosol were 58.0% and 27.3% respectively, while the total effective rate of these two drugs was 95.7% and 69.7% respectively. Experimental study revealed that Yinhua mixture was effective in antifebrile, anti-asthma and expectorative effect, which was better than that of gentamycin (P < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
Yinhua mixture aerosol is effective in antifebrile, anti-asthma, and expectorative effect.
