“…Studies of diarrhea and oral candidiasis, which are challenging symptoms of AIDS, were demonstrated to have positive effects [19, 21]. Study of peripheral leukocytes, which are a side effect of antiretroviral drugs, suggested that an integrated treatment approach may be of benefit [20]. The use of Chinese herbs is associated with non-serious adverse effects in our included trials.…”

To assess the effects of TCHM on patients with HIV infection and AIDS, we reviewed eleven randomized placebo-controlled trials involving 998 patients. Due to the limited number of RCTs for included trials and the small sample size of each study, we are not able to draw firm conclusions concerning TCHM therapy in treating patients with HIV infection and AIDS. However, some high-quality clinical studies do exist. Studies of diarrhea and oral candidiasis, which are challenging symptoms of AIDS, were demonstrated to have positive effects. Study of peripheral leukocytes, which are a side effect of antiretroviral drugs, suggested that an integrated treatment approach may be of benefit. The overall methodological quality of the trials was adequate; however, randomization methods should be clearly described and fully reported in these trials according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT).

Substantial progress has been made in China in using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to treat acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Our objective was to review the latest developments in TCM treatment of AIDS in China between 2004 and 2014. We reviewed the content of original articles investigating the efficacy and safety of TCM for treating AIDS published in Chinese and English language journals. Relevant references from 2004 to 2014 were found using PubMed and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database. We found that TCM has been widely used for treating AIDS and its complications in China. The number of TCM studies has increased, which indicates efficacy and safety. Measures of efficacy in the reviewed articles included the alleviation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related signs and symptoms, improvements in quality of life, improvements in long-term survival, counteraction of the adverse side effects of antiviral drugs, promotion of immune reconstitution, and improvement of laboratory results. In sum, the literature indicates that TCM is safe. TCM plays an important role in the treatment of AIDS. Some studies have attempted to measure the efficacy and safety of TCM for treating AIDS, but more evidence is needed. Therefore, more research on this topic is required in the future.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40249-015-0093-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The patient was formally diagnosed with a pneumonia on day 8 January 31, 2020 when her CT image showed a pneumonia sign with an obvious patchy consolidation shadows of exudative lesions in the left inferior lobe of her lung, and her blood test showed the total number of leukocytes decreased with lowered lymphocyte and neutrophil count and increased monocytes percentage, as well as C-reactive protein and hypersensitive c-reactive protein increased. Therefore, on day 8 she was given moxifloxacin hydrochloride via iv and arbidol hydrochloride tablets, as well as Leucogen Tablets which has been claimed with an effect of raising white blood cell counts [5] and whose Chinese name was called "LiKe Jun" (Figure 1). Due to limitations resulted from lockdown of Wuhan, our patient could took only four laboratory tests on day 8, 11 ,12and 14 and three CT examinations on day 8, 14 and 61 over the course of the treatment (Figure 2).…”

The infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has now become a global pandemic with over 27486960 confirmed cases and resulted in 894983 deaths [1] since its first report in January 2020 [2]. World-wide efforts are being made in finding better ways for controlling the infection and treating the disease formally called as COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019)[3]. However, many challenges remain as to how to efficiently manage the health risk and effectively reduce the social disturbance of this ongoing pandemic. We would like to share our experience in successfully treating a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the early time of the outbreak of this disease in Wuhan, China though telemedicine while the patient was self-isolated at home. We believe that this mode of medical treatment of SARS-CoV-2 may play a more
