Abstract: Objective To explore and analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of Qingjin Huatan Decoction in the treatment of phlegm-heat stagnation lung type bacterial pneumonia. Methods Sixty patients with phlegm-heat pneumonic bacterial pneumonia treated in Department of respiratory medicine, Huishan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to December 2022 were selected and divided into control group and observation group by random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine, and the observation group was treated with Qingjin Huatan Decoction on the basis of the control group. The clinical efficacy, the time for the main symptoms to disappear after treatment and the laboratory indexes before and after treatment were observed. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The disappearance time of cough, sputum, fever, wheezing and pulmonary moist rales in observation group was shorter than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the leukocyte count, serum procalcitonin level and C-reactive protein level in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no obvious symptoms or changes in liver and kidney function indexes between the two groups before and after treatment, and there was only 1 case of nausea in the observation group. There was no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions between the control group and the observation group (P>0.05). Conclusion Qingjin Huatan Decoction has outstanding clinical efficacy in the treatment of phlegm-heat stagnation lung type bacterial pneumonia, which can effectively improve related symptoms and signs, improve laboratory indicators, shorten the time for the main symptoms to disappear, and have no obvious adverse reactions during treatment, with high safety.
