注之言住也，谓之风邪鬼气留人身内也。人无问大小，若血气虚衰，则阴阳失守，风邪
鬼气因而客之，留在肌肉之间，连滞腑脏之内。或皮肤掣动，游易无常，或心腹刺痛，或体
热皮肿，沉滞至死。死又注易傍人，故为注也。
小儿不能触冒风邪，多因乳母解脱之时，不避温凉暑湿，或抱持出入，早晚其神魂软弱
，而为鬼气所伤，故病也。
尸注者，是五尸之中一尸注也。人无问大小，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，故尸注因而为病。其状沉默，不的知病处，或
寒热淋沥，涉引岁月，遂至于死。死又注易傍人，故名之为尸注也。
人聚虫蛇杂类，以器皿盛之，令相啖食，余一存者，即名为蛊，能变化。或随饮食入腹
，食人五脏。小儿有中者，病状与大人、老子无异，则心腹刺痛，懊闷。急者即死，缓者涉
历岁月，渐深羸困，食心脏尽，痢血，心脏烂乃至死。死又注易蛊人，故为蛊注也。
足少阴为肾之经，其气下通于阴。小儿有少阴之经虚而受风邪者，邪气冲于阴，与血气
相搏结，则阴肿也。
腹胀，是冷气客于脏故也。小儿腑脏嫩弱，有风冷邪气客之，搏于脏气，则令腹胀。若
脾虚，冷移入于胃，食则不消。若肠虚，冷气乘之，则变下痢。
"Zhu" (Infectious/Transmissible Disease) means to stay or remain, referring to wind pathogen and ghostly qi remaining within the human body. Regardless of age, if blood and qi are deficient and declining, yin and yang will lose their proper governance. Wind pathogens and ghostly qi then invade as external guests, lodging between the muscles and lingering within the zang-fu organs. Symptoms may include twitching and movement of the skin that wanders unpredictably, stabbing pain in the heart and abdomen, fever with swollen skin, or a heavy stagnation leading to death. After death, the pathogenic influence may transmit to others, hence it is called "Zhu".
Infants and children cannot withstand invasion by wind pathogens. This often occurs because the nursing mother, during the postpartum period, fails to avoid temperature changes, summer heat, or dampness, or when carrying the child in and out, exposing them to morning and evening conditions where the child's spirit and soul are weak, making them susceptible to injury by ghostly qi, thus causing disease.
Shi Zhu (Corpse Infectious Disease) is one type among the Five Corpse diseases. Regardless of age, everyone has "corpse worms" in the abdomen. These worms have a nature that abhors evil and easily attracts external pathogens to cause harm together. Infants and children with weak blood and qi also have diminished spirit, making them prone to illness from Shi Zhu. The presentation includes taciturnity and an inability to pinpoint the location of pain, alternating chills and fever with dribbling discharge, dragging on for years until death ensues. After death, the condition may transmit to others, hence named Shi Zhu.
Gu (Gu Poison/Parasitic Disease) involves placing humans, swarms of insects, snakes, and other miscellaneous creatures in vessels to allow them to devour each other; the single survivor is named Gu, which possesses the ability to transform. It may enter the abdomen via food and drink, consuming the five zang organs. Infants and children infected with Gu present with symptoms identical to adults: stabbing pain in the heart and abdomen, and deep restlessness and oppression. Acute cases result in immediate death; chronic cases drag on for years, becoming progressively deeper and more emaciated, until the heart is consumed, bloody dysentery occurs, the heart rots, and death follows. After death, the Gu poison may transmit to others, hence called Gu Zhu.
The Foot-Shaoyin Meridian is the meridian of the Kidney, its qi connecting downward to the genitalia. If an infant or child has a deficiency in the Foot-Shaoyin meridian and is invaded by wind pathogen, the pathogenic qi rushes to the genitalia and knots with blood and qi, resulting in swelling of the genitals.
Abdominal distension is caused by cold qi lodging in the zang-fu organs. Infants and children have tender and weak zang-fu organs; when wind-cold pathogenic qi lodges within and contends with the organ qi, it causes abdominal distension. If the Spleen is deficient, cold qi shifts into the Stomach, leading to indigestion upon eating. If the Intestines are deficient, cold qi takes advantage of this weakness, transforming into diarrhea/dysentery.
