  To observe the clinical effects of combination application treatment of Chinese traditional medicine(CTM) and levamisole on RAU through clinical uses of CTM experience formula and levamisole.
  
  
  METHODS
  Seventy-six RAU cases were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group was given CTM experience formula and levamisole; the control group was given levamisole only. Wilcoxon test was performed for comparison of the treatment using SAS 9.0 software package.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total effective rate was 92.10% in the treatment group. The total effective rate was 78.95% in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The combined treatment of CTM and levamisole is superior to levamisole alone for RAU.
