（亦名赤痢）
《巢氏病源》小儿热痢候∶小儿本挟虚热而为风所乘，风热俱入于大肠而利，为热，是水谷利。而色黄者为热痢也。
《巢氏病源》小儿赤痢候∶小儿有挟客热入于经络，而血得热则流散于大肠，肠虚则泄，故赤痢也。
《石壁经》三十六种内赤痢候歌∶
赤痢先看眼不开，定知热发有从来。唇红面赤疮穿口（一云舌白唇红疮满口），一日之间痢百回。滴沥腹中
加刺痛，难餐胃闭食全乖。此时脾热（一云∶服毒）因云极，请细消许妙药材。
此是热积所致也。当去其积，凉胃调气进饮食，治痢慎勿令药大热，热则发汗作肿多困也。
《小儿形证论》四十八候，赤痢候歌一同，后云∶此候医人将热药与服，至目闭唇红，不通饮食，或下血痢
至损命，切不得用热药，宜服开胃解脾毒药，如此调治三、五日即安。

(Chi Li, also known as Bloody Dysentery)
*Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Chao Yuanfang) on the syndrome of pediatric hot dysentery: Children inherently possess deficient heat and are invaded by wind pathogens. When both wind and heat enter the large intestine causing diarrhea, it is classified as a hot-type diarrhea, specifically where water and grain are not separated (Shui Gu Li). If the stool color is yellow, it is termed Hot Dysentery.
*Chao Shi Bing Yuan* on the syndrome of pediatric bloody dysentery: Children harbor external pathogenic heat entering the meridians. Blood, affected by heat, flows and scatters into the large intestine. Due to intestinal deficiency leading to leakage, bloody dysentery occurs.
Song from *Shi Bi Jing* regarding the thirty-six types of internal bloody dysentery:
In cases of bloody dysentery, first observe if the eyes are open; this confirms that the heat has been developing for some time. Red lips, red face, and mouth ulcers (or alternatively, white tongue, red lips, and mouth full of sores) indicate more than a hundred bowel movements in a single day. Dripping sounds in the abdomen accompanied by stabbing pain, loss of appetite, and complete disruption of food intake suggest that spleen heat (or alternatively, poisoning) has reached its extreme. Carefully select effective medicinal materials.
This condition is caused by the accumulation of heat. One must remove the accumulation, cool the stomach, regulate qi, and restore diet. When treating dysentery, strictly avoid using strongly heating medicines, as these will induce sweating, swelling, and severe fatigue.
From *Xiao Er Xing Zheng Lun* (Discussion on Infant Forms and Syndromes), the song for the forty-eight syndromes regarding bloody dysentery is identical to the above, followed by: In this syndrome, if physicians mistakenly administer heating medicines, the child may suffer from closed eyes, red lips, inability to eat or drink, or fatal bloody dysentery. Heating medicines must absolutely be avoided. Instead, one should administer medicines that open the stomach and resolve spleen toxicity. With such treatment, peace can be restored within three to five days.
