《巢氏病源》小儿三虫候∶三虫者，是长虫、赤虫、蛲虫为三虫也，犹是九虫之数也。长虫，蛔虫也，长一
尺，动则吐清水而心痛，贯心即死。赤虫状如生肉，动则肠鸣。蛲虫至细微，形如菜虫也，居胴肠间，多则为
痔，剧则为癞，因人疮处以生。诸痈、疽、癣、 、 、疥、龋、虱无所不为。此即九虫之内三者，而今则
别立名，尝以其三种偏发动成病，故谓之三虫也。
《外台》∶《肘后》三虫者，谓长虫、赤虫、蛲虫也。乃有九种，而蛲虫及寸白人多病之。寸白从食牛肉、饮
白酒所成，相连一尺则杀人。服药下之，须结里溃，然出尽乃佳；若断者，相生未已，更宜速除之。蛲虫，多
是小儿患之，大人亦有，其病令人心痛，清朝口吐汁，烦躁则是也。其余各种种不利，人人胃中无不有者，宜
服药以除之。
钱乙论虫痛∶面 白，心腹痛，口中吐沫及清水出，发痛有时，安虫散主之（方见本门中）。小儿本怯者多此病。
积痛、食痛、虚痛，大同小异。惟虫痛者，当口淡而沫自出，治之随其证。
钱乙论虫与痫相似∶小儿本怯，故胃虚冷，则虫动而心痛，与痫略相似，但目不斜，手不搐也，安虫散主
之（方见本门）。
钱乙论虫痛诀死云∶辛氏女年五岁，病虫痛。诸医以巴漆、 砂之属治之不效。至五日外多哭而俯仰，
卧不安，自按心腹，时大叫。面无正色，或青、或黄、或白、或黑，目无光而慢，唇白吐沫。至六日，胸高而
卧不安。钱详而视之，用芜荑散三服，见目不除青色，大惊曰∶此病大困，若更加泻则为逆。至次日，钱见辛
日夜来三更而泻，钱于泻盆中看如药汁，以 搅之，见有药丸。钱曰∶此子肌浓当气实，今证反虚，不可治也。
何以然？师曰∶脾虚胃冷则虫动，今反目青，此肝乘脾。又脾加泻，知其气极虚也，而丸药随粪下，即脾胃已
脱，兼形病不相应，故知死病。后五日昏笃，七日而死。
张涣谨按∶小儿胃气久不和，自须虫动不安。令儿腹中痛甚者，往来上下，痛有休止，状若风候。六、七
岁以外不因吐利而作者，多是食甘肥物等而作。若攻心，即致夭折，亦非小疾，切宜慎之。

[Background Information]
Book: Youyou Xinshu (New Book for Young Children)
Author: Liu Fang
Dynasty: Song
Chapter: Volume 31 / Chong Dong Di Yi (First on Worm Movement)
Category: Comprehensive
(Three Worms and Hernia) Total of nine sections.
*Chishi Bingyuan* (Source of Diseases by Master Chao) on the syndrome of three worms in children: The so-called "three worms" refer to Changchong (Long Worm), Chichong (Red Worm), and Naochong (Pinworm). They are part of the count of nine worms. Changchong is Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm), about one chi long; when active, it causes vomiting of clear fluid and heart pain, and if it pierces the heart, death ensues. Chichong resembles raw meat; when active, it causes borborygmus (intestinal rumbling). Naochong is extremely minute, resembling a vegetable worm, residing in the intestines; in large numbers, it causes hemorrhoids, and in severe cases, leprosy-like conditions, often arising from skin sores. It is involved in various conditions such as carbuncles, ulcers, tinea, scabies, dental caries, and lice. These are three of the nine worms, now given separate names because these three tend to cause disease independently, hence called the "Three Worms."
*Waitai Miyao* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergencies) citing *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* (Emergency Prescriptions Worth Keeping at the Sleeve): The three worms refer to Changchong, Chichong, and Naochong. In fact, there are nine types, among which Naochong and Cunbai Chong (Tapeworm) are commonly seen in patients. Cunbai Chong results from consuming beef and drinking white wine; if it connects into a strand one chi long, it can be fatal. Medicinal treatment to expel worms requires the worms to rot internally and then be expelled; complete expulsion is ideal. If the worm breaks, it may regenerate, necessitating rapid removal. Naochong is mostly suffered by children, though adults may also suffer from it; symptoms include heart pain, morning vomiting of saliva, and restlessness. Other various worms are present in everyone's stomach; medicinal treatment is suitable for their removal.
Qian Yi discusses worm colic: Pale complexion, heart and abdominal pain, vomiting of foam and clear fluid, pain occurring at specific times. Treat with Anchong San (Stabilize Worm Powder) (Formula see within this section). Children with inherently timid constitutions are prone to this disease. Accumulation colic, food colic, and deficiency colic are largely similar with minor differences. Only worm colic presents with a bland taste in the mouth and spontaneous salivation; treatment follows the specific syndrome.
Qian Yi discusses the similarity between worm colic and epilepsy: Children with inherently timid constitutions have weak and cold stomachs, causing worm movement and heart pain, which slightly resembles epilepsy. However, the eyes do not deviate, and hands do not convulse. Treat with Anchong San (Stabilize Worm Powder) (Formula see within this section).
Qian Yi records a case of fatal worm colic: Ms. Xin’s daughter, aged five, suffered from worm colic. Various physicians treated her with Banli (Radix Euphorbiae Lathyri) and Qi (Lac Chinense) without effect. By the fifth day, she cried frequently, moved her body up and down restlessly, slept poorly, pressed her heart and abdomen herself, and screamed occasionally. Her facial color was irregular, shifting between blue, yellow, white, and black; her eyes lacked luster and were slow; her lips were white with foaming. On the sixth day, her chest protruded, and she could not sleep peacefully. Qian Yi examined her carefully and prescribed Wuyi San (Melia Powder) three doses. Seeing that the bluish hue around the eyes persisted, he exclaimed in alarm: "This illness is critically severe. If diarrhea occurs, it will be a counter-indication." The next day, Qian Yi observed that Ms. Xin experienced diarrhea at the third watch of the night. Looking into the chamber pot, the excrement resembled medicinal juice; stirring it revealed pill fragments. Qian Yi said: "This child has thick flesh and should have robust Qi, yet the syndrome indicates deficiency. It is untreatable." Why? The teacher stated: "Spleen deficiency and stomach cold cause worm movement. Now the eyes are blue, indicating Liver Wood overacting on Spleen Earth. Furthermore, the Spleen suffers diarrhea, indicating extreme Qi depletion. The pills passing with feces indicate the collapse of Stomach and Spleen Qi. Additionally, the physical state does not match the disease severity, thus I know it is a fatal case." Five days later, she became comatose and died on the seventh day.
Zhang Huan notes: When a child’s Stomach Qi is disharmonious for a long time, worms naturally move restlessly. Severe abdominal pain caused by worms involves them moving up and down, with pain having intervals, resembling wind syndromes. In children older than six or seven years, if not caused by vomiting or diarrhea, it is mostly due to consuming sweet and fatty foods. If worms attack the heart, it leads to premature death; this is no minor ailment, requiring utmost caution.
*Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) formula for treating three worms in children.
Leiwan (Polyporus Umbellatus) and Xiong (Ligusticum Wallichii)
Grind the above two ingredients in equal parts into powder. Take one qianbi per dose, twice daily.
*Qianjin Fang* formula for Liver Labor growing Changchong. Syndrome in the Liver: Fear and unrest, redness in the eyes.
Chicken eggs (five, remove yolks), Ganqi (Dried Resin of Toxicodendron Vernicifluum, four liang), La (Beeswax), Wu Zhu Yu Dongxing Genpi (Bark of East-facing root of Evodia Rutaecarpa, three liang each), Jingmi Fen (Rice Flour, half jin)
Grind the Wu Zhu Yu bark into powder. Mix with other medicines in a copper vessel and decoct. Form pills the size of small beans. Fast overnight. Take one hundred pills in the morning with water; fifty pills for children. The worms should rot and be expelled.
(*Jiyan Fang* omits Wu Zhu Yu root, naming it Jizi Wan.)
*Waitai Miyao* citing *Gujin Luyan* formula for Ji Zi Wan to treat Changchong.
Jizi Bai (Egg White, three), Ganqi (Dried Resin of Toxicodendron Vernicifluum, four liang, roasted; omitted in another version), La (Beeswax, three liang), Jingmi Fen (Rice Flour, half jin)
Place the above four ingredients in a copper vessel. Decoct over low heat, stirring until thick. Add flour to allow coagulation for pill formation. Place on earth to cool until warm. Add egg white, stir well, and decoct again until pill-forming consistency is reached. Fast overnight. Take one hundred twenty pills the size of small beans with water; fifty pills for children. Effective.
*Waitai Miyao* citing *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* formula for treating three worms.
Zhuyu Gen (Root of Evodia Rutaecarpa, select east-facing ones finger-thick and one chi long), Gualou (Trichosanthes Kirilowii Root, four liang, sliced)
Finely chop the Zhuyu Gen. Soak in one sheng of wine overnight. Strain in the morning. Fast overnight. In the morning, eat some dried meat first, then take the decoction in one dose. Divide into two or three doses for children. Also treats Cunbai Chong (Tapeworm).
*Waitai Miyao* Fan Wang’s formula for Bai Lian Wan to treat three worms.
Bailian (Ampelopsis Japonica Root), Yelangya (Potentilla chinensis), Lu (Reed Rhizome), Taohua (Peach Blossom), Guanzhong (Cyrtomium Fortunii Rhizome) (each three fen), Ju Pi (Tangerine Peel, two fen), Wuyi (Melia Azedarach Seed, one fen)
Grind and sieve the above seven ingredients. Mix with honey to form pills the size of small beans. Fast overnight. Take one dose in the morning with Jiangshui (fermented rice liquid); eat lunch only after taking the medicine. Worms will be immediately expelled. A man suffered from abdominal distension, yellow complexion, and craving for meat. After taking this medicine, he expelled a Red Worm like a bamboo shoot one chi long, with over a hundred heads and eyes, and recovered. Another case: Xie Qiu from Jiujiang had an accumulation under the ribs the size of a cup, hardness in the lower abdomen, migrating fixed pain, nausea, excessive saliva, constant epigastric pain, and craving for meat. After taking this medicine, he expelled over two hundred headless worms, red-bodied with mouths and tails, and recovered. Another case: Chen Gong from Jiujiang suffered from abdominal distension and fullness, constantly craving raw vegetables. After taking this medicine, he expelled a White Worm as large as an arm and over a hundred smaller ones, recovering immediately. Pregnant women must not take this.
*Tujing Bencao* (Illustrated Materia Medica) main indications: Pediatric Wugu (Innocent) Phthisis, Scrofula, alternating cold and fever with abdominal distension, killing worms.
Decoct the seedlings and seeds of Kudan (Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum) in water and drink. Alternatively, crush fresh and squeeze out juice to drink. Alternatively, grind and apply topically for pediatric Shanpi (flash phthisis). (Grows in old ruins and wall ditches, two to three chi high; fruit is horn-shaped like a pouch containing pearl-like seeds, turning red when ripe.)
*Tan Shi Shusheng Fang*: Child with chest oppression, coarse breathing, dry lips, and limb weakness. Frequent vomiting of milk and food, spleen and stomach distension. Mostly stomach and spleen disturbed by many worms; head feels hot, face appears crimson at times. Qingfen (Calomel), Dahuang (Rhubarb), Hanshuishi (Halloysitum Rubrum), mixed with Shuiyin (Mercury) for permanent elimination.
Yushen San (Nourish Spirit Powder)
Dahuang (Powder), Mayaxiao (Sodium Sulfate), Shuiyin (Mercury) (each one fen), Nifen (White Calomel, half fen), Hanshuishi (Halloysitum Rubrum, two fen, ground)
Grind all ingredients until Mercury stars disappear. Take one zi per dose, mixed with hot water. Half qian for children under one year.
*Tan Shi Shusheng Fang*: Child suffering from worm-bite pain piercing the heart, crying continuously day and night. Longxiang Hulu (Picrorhiza Scrophulariiflora), Xiong Dan (Bear Bile), Dangmenzi (Dragon's Blood/Resin), entering the formula surpasses *Qianjin*. Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis) used with raw rice water as vehicle; frequent administration prevents worm infiltration. If these six ingredients are combined into pills, children taking them avoid sinking/death.
Sheng Wan (Victory Pill, also known as Shengjin Wan)
Huhuanglian (Picrorhiza Scrophulariiflora Root, powder, half qian), Lvhui (Aloe), Naoshe (Camphor and Musk, each one zi), Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis, half zi. Grind the four ingredients together)
Grind into powder. Mix with Bear Bile to form pills the size of beans. Take three to five pills per dose, washed down with ground raw rice water. Avoid all toxic substances.
*Tan Shi Shusheng*: Pediatric Nine Worms or worm-bite heart pain, vomiting clear fluid, green-yellow complexion, cold extremities, or vomiting/diarrhea with worm expulsion, worm erosion of the lower orifice, generating Gan sores, or five types of hemorrhoids. Shengjin San (Victory Jin Powder) Formula
Hei Gouji (Black Dog Spine Process, de-haired), Bai Wuyi (White Melia Seed, de-husked) (each one liang)
Grind into powder. Take one qian per dose, mixed with light meat broth before meals. For sores or hemorrhoids in the lower orifice, mix with raw oil and apply topically; very effective.
Mao Xiansheng’s formula for extracting Gan worms in children: Binlang San (Areca Nut Powder)
Binlang (Areca Seed), Leiwan (Polyporus Umbellatus, soaked in decoction, peeled), Shijunzi (Quisqualis Indica Fruit, flesh), Huafen (Lead Carbonate, half liang each), Nifen (White Calomel, one fen)
Grind into powder. Use one qianbi per dose, sprinkle on roasted beef and consume. Worms will be expelled shortly.
*Yingru Shu* formula for Guanzhong Wan to treat nine worms.
Guanzhong (Cyrtomium Fortunii Rhizome, five fen, roasted), Lu (Reed Rhizome, twelve fen, roasted), Yelang Yaz (Potentilla chinensis), Wuyi (Melia Azedarach Seed, roasted, each four fen), Shican (Stone Silkworm), Leiwan (Polyporus Umbellatus), Shuqi (Polygonum Coccineum), Jiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus), Houpo (Magnolia Officinalis Bark, roasted, each three fen)
Grind into powder. Mix with honey to form pills the size of wutzu (walnut seeds). Take seven pills at bedtime and morning with Kujiu Jiang (vinegar-fermented rice liquid). Three doses daily. Stop when effective. In this formula, Guanzhong targets Bai Chong (White Worm), Jiangcan targets Ruo Chong (Weak Worm), Lu targets Chang Chong (Long Worm), Yelang Yaz targets Wei Chong (Stomach Worm), Wuyi targets Rou Chong (Flesh Worm), Shican targets Hui Chong (Roundworm), Leiwan targets Chi Chong (Red Worm), Shuqi targets Rou Chong (Flesh Worm), and Houpo targets Fei Chong (Lung Worm). The nine worms are: 1. Fu Chong (Hidden Worm), one cun wide, four chi long; 2. Chang Chong, named Hui Chong (Roundworm), one chi long, piercing the heart harming humans; 3. Bai Chong (White Worm), one cun long; 4. Rou Chong (Flesh Worm), like rotten apricot, causing irritability and fullness; 5. Fei Chong (Lung Worm), silkworm-shaped, causing cough and reverse flow; 6. Wei Chong (Stomach Worm), toad-shaped, causing nausea and vomiting; 7. Ruo Chong (Weak Worm), melon-seed shaped, causing excessive saliva and irritability; 8. Chi Chong (Red Worm), like raw meat, causing borborygmus; 9. Nao Chong (Pinworm), resembling [missing character] worm, causing itching in the lower orifice. This formula treats all of them, tested repeatedly with great efficacy.
Qian Yi’s Anchong San (Stabilize Worm Powder) Formula
Hufen (Lead Carbonate, roasted yellow), Binlang (Areca Seed), Chuan Lianzi (Sichuan Loranthus Fruit, pitted and seeded, weighed), Heshi (Dysosma Versipellis Rhizome, roasted yellow) (each two liang), Baifan (Alumen, one fen, roasted until dry in iron vessel, weighed)
Grind into fine powder. Take one zi per dose, half qian for larger children. Mix with warm rice drink and take during pain. *Boji Fang* calls this Heshi San.
