Abstract: Objective To investigate the effective drugs and clinical features of liver damage in adults with
measles. Methods Total of 56 measles cases with liver injury were randomly divided into the control group (26
cases) and observation group (30 cases). Patients in control group were given polyene phosphatidyl choline 0.465
g/d and patients in observation group were given magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate 150 mg/d. The courses were no
more than 4 weeks. The levels of ALT, AST and TBil were observed. Results The abnormal rates of ALT, AST
and TBil before treatment were 100.0%, 85.7% and 5.4%, respectively. The moderate damage rates were 96.4%,
100.0% and 100.0%, respectively. After treatment for 1 week, the liver function resuming rates of patients
in control group and observation group were 46.2% and 76.7%, respectively, the difference was statistically
significant (χ 2 = 4.158, P = 0.041). The hospitalization time of patients in control group and observation group
were (10.78 ± 2.21) days and (8.02 ± 1.67) days, the difference was statistically significant (t = 2.712, P =
0.026). Conclusion Adult measles has obvious clinical characteristics of liver injury. The effects of magnesium
isoglycyrrhizinate is better than polyene phosphatidyl choline in treatment of liver damage caused by measles.
