OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy and safety of moxifloxacin combined with Jiehe pill in the treatment of muilt drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). METHODS: 116 patients with MDR-TB were randomly divided into control group and observation group. Control group was given Moxifloxacin hyohochloride tablet 0.4 g once a day,observation group was additionally given Jiehe pill 9 g, twice a day,and 2 groups were given rifapentine, albendazole isoniazid, amikacin, pasiniazide, pyrazinamide, p-amino salicylic acid and other conventional treatment. The treatment course for both groups was 18 months. The clinical efficacy, and T cell subsets (CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+),interferon(INF)γ,interleukin(IL)4 levels before and after 6, 12 and 18 months, and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were recorded. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment, CD3+,CD4+,CD4/CD8 and INF-γ level in 2 groups were significantly higher than before and gradually increased by time, and observation group was higher than control group; IL-4 level was significantly lower than before and graually decreased by time, and observation group was lower than control group, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on the coventional treatment, moxifloxacin combined with Jiehe pill has better efficacy than moxifloxacin in the treatment of MDR-TB,with similar safety.
