Abstract

Abstract:

There is no specific drug or treatment for COVID-19 caused by SARSCoV-2 currently. In this paper, by studying the relationship between COVID-19, intestinal flora, and immune system, and the related mechanism of intestinal flora affecting COVID-19, fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of COVID-19 is explored so as to provide new methods for the treatment of COVID-19.

Key words:

Fecal microbiota transplantation, COVID-19, Intestinal flora

摘要：

目前还没有针对由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型引起的新型冠状病毒肺炎的特效药物或治疗方法。本文通过研究新型冠状病毒肺炎、肠道菌群及免疫系统之间的关系及肠道菌群影响新型冠状病毒肺炎的相关机制，探究粪菌移植在新型冠状病毒肺炎治疗中的应用前景，以期为治疗新型冠状病毒肺炎提供新的方法。
