It is stated that any fever accompanied by mental trembling will inevitably develop into Ji Huang (Acute Jaundice). This refers to the sudden onset of yellowing of the skin and eyes, chest fullness, and panting. Life is in imminent danger, hence it is named Ji Huang (Acute Jaundice).
Some patients present with yellowing of the body and face immediately upon contracting the disease; others do not show signs of jaundice initially but turn yellow after death. As long as these symptoms are observed first, urgent treatment is required. This disease arises from accumulated heat in the Spleen and Stomach, where grain qi stagnates and steams, compounded by the invasion of heat-toxin, thus causing this condition.
