目的:观察化脓灸治疗早期无症状HIV感染者的临床疗效。方法:20例HIV感染者予足三里、悬钟、关元化脓灸治疗,疗程半年。观察患者治疗前后临床症状体征积分、卡洛夫斯基积分、CD4+细胞计数的变化情况以及生存质量评分。结果:化脓灸治疗后感染者的症状体征积分、卡洛夫斯基积分、CD4+细胞计数、生存质量均显著改善(P〈0.05,P〈0.01)。结论:化脓灸可显著改善HIV感染者的临床症状、体征,提高或稳定CD4+细胞水平,提高感染者的生存质量,具有较好的疗效。
Objective To observe the clinical effect of purulent moxibustion on HIV infectors without symptoms at early stage. Methods Purulent moxibustion on Zusanli (足三里 ST 364 Xuanzhong (悬钟 GB 39) and Guanyuan (关元 CV 4) was used in these twenty cases of HIV infectors, and the course of treatment was haJf a year. Score of clinical symptoms and signs, Karnovsky score, CD4+ cell count and QOL score were observed before and after treatment. Results The score of clinical symptoms and signs, Karnovsky score, CD4+ cell count and QOL score of these patients were all improved obviously after moxibustion (P〈0.05, P〈0.01). Conclusion Purulent moxibustion can relieve the clinical symtoms, improve or stabilize the level of CD4+ cell, and improve the QOL of patients with HIV.
