| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Influenza is a severe, respiratory tracts illness, caused by influenza virus and easily spread in public, therefore prevention is very important. Basic experimental studies revealed that catechins inhibit viral adsorption against influenza virus. We also developed the catechin-derivative with higher efficacy against influenza virus. Then, we conducted randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effects of catechin-treated face masks on influenza prevention.
Health care workers were randomly allocated into the catechin- or non-treated mask groups for 60 days. In the first trial using natural tea catechin-treated masks, 234 participants were eligible for the study. Six participants were infected influenza (catechin, 3.4%; control, 1.7%). In the second trial using catechin derivative-treated masks, 238 participants were eligible for the study. Thirteen participants were infected (catechin, 5.8%; control, 5.1%). These results did not differ significantly.
