Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical effect of phosphonate-sodium (PFA) combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection-related progressive stroke (SIP).Methods The clinical data of 150 HCMV infection-related progressive stroke patients treated in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The 72 patients received conventional western medicine treatment were enrolled in the B group, and the 78 patients received PFA combined with conventional western medicine treatment were enrolled in the A group. The national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores before and after treatment between the 2 groups were compared, and the negative conversion rates of HCMV-pp65 antigen in peripheral blood cells at 7thd, 14th d after treatment and after 14d treatment between the 2 groups were compared. The clinical efficacy between the 2 groups and the patients' serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) before and after treatment were compared. Adverse reactions occurred during treatment between the 2 groups were compared.Results NIHSS scores after treatment of both groups decreased (P < 0.05), and NIHSS score of the A group was lower than that of the B group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the negative conversion rates of HCMV-pp65 antigen between the 2 groups at 7thd, 14thd (P > 0.05). The total negative conversion rate of HCMV-pp65 antigen of the combined group was higher than that of the B group (P < 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of clinical efficacy grades between the 2 groups (P < 0.05), and the total effective rate of the combined group was higher than that of the B group (P < 0.05). The serum CRP, IL-6 and LPA level of the 2 groups decreased after treatment (P < 0.05), of which the combined group were lower than the B group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions during treatment of A group was similar to which of the B group (P > 0.05).Conclusion PFA combined conventional western medicine treatment of HCMV infection related progressive stroke can effectively improve nerve function of patients, compared with only using conventional western medicine, this treatment has good function of anti HCMV infection and higher clinical curative effect, and it can effectively reduce the patients' serum CRP, LPA, IL-6 levels and increased significantly during treatment in patients with high safety.
