Abstract: During the past four years,60 cases of sporadic encephalitis were divided randomly into two groups:30 cases were treated with Snake-Root Tablet group(SRG),and the other 30 cases with corticosteroid group (CSG).Result:(1)The cure rate of SRG was significantly different from that of CSG(P<0.01).(2) Mortality of SRG was 0,and that of CSG was 10%,the former group being better.Comparison between these groups:The duration of clinical improvement,of the disappearance of the symptoms,of the recovery of EEG, and of the hospitalization period,P<0.01,0.05,0.01,0,01 respectively.There was no side-effect in SRG, while in CSG,the rate of side-effect reached 43.33%.The occurrence of sequelae in SRG was 16.67%,while in CSG,53.85%(P<0.01).Nantong Snake-Root Tablet,also called Ji Desheng(季德胜)Snake-Root Tablet,has been used originally solely for curing the bitten wounds of vipers or venomous insects with excellent effects.It has now been extensively used to treat the sporadic encephalitis and good result was also obtained. The mechanism of the therapeutic effect remains unclear,and further study is needed.
