中药抗EV71病毒活性及其在治疗手足口病中的应用

手足口病是由肠道病毒引起的传染病.柯萨奇病毒A16和肠道病毒71型(EV71)是本病的主要致病原,且后者较凶险,更易导致严重并发症而致死、致残,危害性较大.目前对EV71感染尚缺乏有效的药物,因此研制抗EV71病毒活性的药物意义重大.中国中药资源丰富,具有进一步开发和利用的独特优势,从中筛选出具有抗EV71病毒活性的成分,进而开发出新的抗病毒药物具有很大潜力.同时,我国自1981年在上海始见手足口病以来,中药在临床治疗手足口病方面的报道日益增多且方法多样,大多疗效满意,对提高临床诊治水平、控制疾病的发生发展有着积极作用,展现了其独特的临床优势与特点.

Studies on anti-EV71 virus activity of traditional Chinese medicine and its clinical application in treatment of HFMD

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is caused by intestinal virus infection. The viruses coxsackie A16 (CA16) and enterovirus 71 (EV71) are the main pathogens. Between them, the virus EV71 is more dangerous and easier to cause serious complications, which leads to death or disability. Currently, there are no effective antiviral drugs to treat EV71 infection. Therefore, developing an effective drug against EV71 virus activity is significant. It has a huge potency of screening the anti-EV71 components and developing the new drugs from the abundant traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). Meanwhile, since hand-foot-and-mouth disease spread in Shanghai in 1981, a growing number of reports on TCMs treatment in clinic have been published. In addition, most of treatments with various ways are effective, which play a positive role on improving clinic treatment and controlling diseases. Moreover, special clinic advantages and features of TCMs were obviously shown.
