The methodological quality of the trials was assessed by the Jadad scale, and evaluation was performed. Twelve randomized controlled trials meeting the inclusion criteria were selected and reviewed. As Tanreqing combined group (Tanreqing Injection plus antibiotics and basic therapy) was compared with antibiotics group (antibiotics plus basic therapy), the meta-analysis indicated that the relative risk (RR) for the total cure rate was 1.51, and 95% confidence interval (CI) was [1.29, 1.77]; RR for the total obvious effect rate was 1.31,ls and 95% CI was [1.20,1.43]; RR for the effective rate was 1.17, and 95% CI was [1.11, 1.23]. The weighted mean difference (WMD) in disappearance time of fever between the two groups was -1.24, and 95% CI was [-1.71, -0.76].
