Objective To investigate the curative effect of Xiefei Lishui Recipe combined with chemotherapy on tuberculous pleurisy and its influence on pulmonary function and immune function. Methods A total of 96 patients with tuberculous pleurisy admitted to Shaanxi Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Hospital (the Fifth People’s Hospital of Shaanxi Province) from June 2021 to July 2022 were selected and divided into two groups by random number table method, with 48 cases in each group. The control group was treated only with chemotherapy, while the study group was treated with Xiefei Lishui Formula on the basis of the control group. The pleural thickness, pleural effusion drainage volume and absorption time before and after treatment were compared between the two groups lung function and peripheral blood Th1 cells, Th2 cells Th17 cells and Treg cells. Results There was no obvious difference in the pleural fluid flow between the two groups (P>0.05). The pleural thickness did not different between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05), decreased after treatment, and the experimental group was lower than the control group (P<0.05), and the pleural fluid absorption time in the experimental group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). The total response rate (95.83%) was higher than 89.58%, with no difference (P>0.05). Between FEV1% pred, FVC% pred, FEV1/FVC% Pred, RV% pred, TLC% pred before and after treatment (P>0.05), FEV1% pred, FVC% pred, TLC% pred were higher than before treatment, and FEV1/FVC% Pred, RV% pred were lower than before treatment (P<0.05). Th1 cells, Th2 cells, Th1/Th2, Th17 cells, Treg cells and Th17/Treg (P>0.05), after treatment, Th1 cells, Th1, and Treg cells (P>0.05), while Th1 cells, Th1/Th2, Th17 and Th17/Treg were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with chemotherapy alone, the combination of Xiefei Lishui Recipe in the treatment of tuberculous pleurisy can further promote faster absorption of pleural fluid and improve immune function, but it can not improve the overall efficacy and improve pulmonary function.
