Objective To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of Tanreqing for curing the hand-foot-mouth disease. Methods Such databases as PubMed, EMbase, CENTRAL, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data are electronically searched to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effectiveness and safety of Tanreqing for hand-foot-mouth disease till February 2013. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature was screened, data were extracted, and the methodological quality of included studies was also assessed. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.7 software. Results Twelve RCTs on Tanreqing versus ribavirin involving 1 258 cases and 27 RCTs on Tanreqing plus ribavirin versus ribavirin involving 3 289 cases were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared to ribavirin, Tanreqing has higher total efficiency in the treatment of hand-foot-mouth disease (OR=5.03, 95%CI 3.28 to 7.71, Plt;0.000 01), cooling time (MD= –1.09, 95%CI –1.51 to –0.68, Plt;0.000 01), simplex regression time (MD= –0.90, 95%CI –1.20 to –0.60, Plt;0.000 01), and healing time (MD= –1.76, 95%CI –2.52 to –0.99, Plt;0.000 01), with significant differences. Compared to ribavirin, the group of Tanreqing plus ribavirin has higher total efficiency on treatment of hand-foot-mouth disease (OR=5.32, 95%CI 4.02 to 7.06, Plt;0.000 01), cooling time (MD= –1.32, 95%CI –1.63 to –1.01, Plt;0.000 01), simplex regression time (MD= –0.5, 95%CI –0.98 to –0.2, Plt;0.000 01), and healing time (MD= –1.41, 95%CI –1.83 to –0.98, Plt;0.000 01), with significant differences. The results of indirect comparative analysis showed that, there was no significant difference in the treatment options of Tanreqing plus ribavirin and Tanreqing alone concerning total efficiency, cooling time, simplex regression time, and healing time. Conclusion The study shows that Tanreqing alone and Tanreqing plus ribavirin are similar for curing the hand-foot-mouth disease, and both groups have better clinical effectiveness than ribavirin alone.

Methods A total of 184 patients with HFMD from May 2008 to May 2010 were randomly divided into two groups: 92 patients in the treatment group underwent medication for the external use topical with berberine tablet blending in calamine lotion for, and another 92 patients in the control group didn’t undergone the medication for the external use. Results The total cure rate within 5 days in treatment group was 94% and the total effective rate was 100%, which was significantly different from that in the control group (Plt;0.01). Conclusion Berberine tablet blending in calamine lotion application is safe and effective on patients with HFMD with infection.
Objective To investigate the etiological and clinical characteristics of the outbreak of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in Chengdu in 2008. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate 482 children with hand-foot-mouth disease in Chengdu from January to December 2008 in terms of epidemiology and clinical characteristics. Results Among the 482 children, 76.14% of the cases were infants, and male children numbered more than female ones. The proportion in the urban area was higher than that in the rural area. May to July was the peak epidemic period. Skin rash and fever were major clinical manifestations. Three cases were diagnosed as viral encephalitis. Conclusion The incidence of hand-foot-mouth disease is related to age and season. Effective prevention measures and isolated treatment are critical for prevention and therapy.
Objective To share the experience of the diagnosis and treatment of children with hand-foot-mouth disease. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 31 children with hand-foot-mouth disease in our hospital from April 2007 to June 2007 in terms of epidemiology, clinical features, treatment and prognosis. Results The average age of the children was 2.8 years, and 20 out of the 31 cases were from nurseries and kindergartens. Eighteen had clear contact history. Typical signs and symptoms, including oral ulcerative herpes and blister-like rash in extremities, were found in all cases. All the children were cured after timely diagnosis and early treatment with ribavirin, without any severe complications. Conclusion Timely treatment based on early diagnosis and considerate care are important for children with hand-foot-mouth disease. Nurseries, kindergartens and primary schools should attach great importance to relevant prophylaxis and isolation. These are essential for reducing the occurrence and prevalence of this disease.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of health education on hand, foot and mouth disease knowledge of the parents and their psychological status, in order to provide a reference for regulating clinical intervention measures. MethodsBetween October 2011 and February 2013, self-made questionnaire was used to survey the parents of 286 children with hand, foot and mouth disease for their knowledge about the disease. We promoted health education including distributing pamphlets, holding lectures, and carrying out psychological counseling. Then, parents' knowledge and their psychological status were compared before and after the implementation of health education. ResultsAfter health education, parents' suspicion, anxiety, fear, indulgence in children and other negative psychological scores were significantly lower than those before intervention (P<0.05). Their knowledge on the disease was also significantly enhanced (P<0.05). Gender, age and educational background were the main influence factors for health education. ConclusionMulti-form comprehensive health education can enhance parents' knowledge on hand, foot and mouth disease effectively and alleviate various negative psychological situations, which assists them to participate in the treatment work actively, thus greatly promotes early rehabilitation of the child patients.
ObjectiveTo compare effect of enterovirus (EV) 71 nucleic acid detection and EV71-IgM antibody detection on clinically diagnosis of hand-foot-mouth disease in children. MethodsRectal swabs collected from 1379 children who were clinically diagnosed from April 20, 2011 to September 10, 2011 as suspected patients with the handfoot- mouth disease were detected by fluorogenic quantitative polymerase chain reaction to conduct EV71 nucleic acid detection. Meantime, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to conduct EV71-IgM antibody detection in serum samples collected from those children. ResultsIn these 1379 cases, 79 had positive EV71 nucleic acids with a positive rate of 5.73%; while 82 cases had positive EV71-IgM antibodies with a positive rate of 5.95%. There were 32 cases with positive EV71 nucleic acid and positive EV71-IgM antibody. The rate of consistent results of two detection methods was 95.2%. The positive rates of two methods had no negligible differences (χ2=0.093, P=0.761). ConclusionCombination of EV71 nucleic acid detection and EV71-IgM antibody detection, can improve the efficiency in diagnosing hand-foot-mouth disease in children and facilitate the protection and diagnosis of the disease.
