[Abstract] Objective To investigate the effect of adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen treatment on patients with severe epidemic encephalitis B. Methods 64 cases with severe epidemic encephalitis B in Department of Infectious Diseases, The Center Hospital of Bazhong from July 2007 to October 2009 were divided into treatment group and control group with 32 patients in each group. The treatment group received conventional therapy plus hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The control group received conventional therapy only.The clinical efficacies in the two groups were compared. Results The duration of coma, convulsion, fever and pathological positive signs of patients in the treatment group was significantly shorter than the control group (P<0.05), and mortality and complications decreased significantly compared with the control group. Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen treatment on patients with severe epidemic encephalitis B in the treatment group has better clinical efficacy than the control group. hyperbaric oxygen treatment is recommended for patients with severe epidemic encephalitis B.
