《巢氏病源》小儿尸疰候∶尸疰者，是五尸之中一尸疰也。人无问小大，腹内皆有尸虫，尸虫为性忌恶，多
接引外邪，共为患害。小儿血气衰弱者，精神亦羸，故尸疰因而为病。其状沉嘿不的知病之处，或寒热淋沥，
涉引岁月，遂至于死。死又疰易旁人，故名之为尸疰也。
张涣论∶小儿亦有疰病，与大人所病无是，久后疰易旁人，传染骨肉，如尸疰蛊毒之类是也。

Nash Shi Bing Yuan (Source of Diseases by Master Chao) on the Syndrome of Shi Zhu in Children: Shi Zhu is one of the Five Shi (Corpse Transmission). Regardless of age, everyone has "Shi insects" within their abdomen. These insects are inherently repelled by righteous Qi and tend to attract external pathogenic factors, causing joint harm. In children with weak blood and Qi, spirit and essence are also emaciated; thus, Shi Zhu arises as a disease. Its manifestations include taciturnity and inability to pinpoint the location of pain, alternating chills and fever, and lingering symptoms that persist for years, eventually leading to death. After death, it may transmit to others, hence the name Shi Zhu.
Zhang Huan discusses: Children can also suffer from Zhu diseases, which differ from those in adults. Over time, these diseases can transmit to others, affecting bones and flesh, similar to Shi Zhu and Gu Du (Poisonous Worm) conditions.
Wai Tai Mi Yao (Essential Prescriptions from the Imperial Library), citing Zhang Zhongjing, treats Fei Shi (Flying Corpse) in adults and children with Zou Ma Tang (Running Horse Decoction):
Ingredients: Ba Dou (Crotonis Fructus, remove heart and skin, stir-fry); Xing Ren (Pruni Semen, remove skin and tips, two each).
Preparation and Administration: Wrap the two ingredients in cotton cloth, pound them until extremely fine, add two he (approx. 200ml) of hot water, squeeze out the white juice, and administer. The patient should recover shortly. If not recovered, administer another dose. Dosage for elderly and children should be adjusted accordingly. This formula generally treats Gui Ji (Ghost Strike); those with Shi Zhu should keep this medicine for effective use. Avoid wild boar meat and reed shoots. Bei Ji Qian Jin Yao Fang agrees.
Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang (Imperial Grace Formulary of the Taiping Era) treats Shi Zhu in children with abdominal distension and unbearable pain with Mu Xiang San (Costus Powder):
