新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)仍肆虐全球,尚未研发出针对COVID-19的特效药。疫情伊始,我国对COVID-19患者积极采用中医药疗法,效果显著。大量临床证据表明,COVID-19患者普遍存在肠道菌群失调症,且与不良预后相关,而对肠道菌群进行有效干预可以一定程度上改善其临床症状。中医药(如金花清感颗粒、连花清瘟颗粒(胶囊)、血必净注射液、清肺排毒汤、麻杏石甘汤)治疗COVID-19已被临床实践证明是安全有效的,而组方中共有的中药如甘草、金银花、黄芩、黄芪等对肠道菌群、免疫系统和血管紧张素转化酶2均有一定的调节作用。更重要的是,清肺排毒汤、麻杏石甘汤和血必净注射液已被证实可以调节肠道菌群。据此,我们提出肠道菌群可能是中医药防治COVID-19及其并发症的重要“靶点”。
