The influenza-confirmed patients reported reductions in the severity of fever (P = 0.002), cough (P = 0.023) and expectoration (P = 0.004) after one-day of treatment with Antiwei, compared to placebo. 14 Therefore, a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was undertaken to investigate the efficacy and safety of Antiwei granule for the treatment of naturally acquired influenza in humans. The primary endpoints were severity of illness (measured by the mean symptom scores for the whole treatment period) and the number of recovered patients in the intention-to treat and influenza-confirmed populations. For patients with influenza-like illness, the number of recovered patients after three days of treatment in the Antiwei group increased 17% and the severity of symptoms was significantly reduced 50% compared to placebo.	./cache/cord-262201-4pab383g.txt	./txt/cord-262201-4pab383g.txt
