李左:伏邪湿热,蕴结在气分,弥漫于三焦。身体发热早晨轻晚上重,已有十几天,身上发出白疹但数量不多,说明湿热原本有暗中透泄的契机。无奈入夜后说梦话,像胡言乱语一样,这也是湿热熏蒸清窍所致。口干小便红赤,大便稀溏,热邪在阳明,湿邪在太阴,正如经文所说“热搏注泄”。吴鞠通先生曾说:湿温的病证,氤氲粘腻,不容易迅速解除,担心病情缠绵加重。拟定葛根黄芩黄连汤加味,解肌清热,苦寒化除湿热。

复诊:服用前方以来,各种症状逐渐减轻,只是夜间有说梦话像胡言乱语的现象。某位医生认为是暑令的疾病,认为是暑热熏蒸心包,投用黄芩、黄连、益元散、竹叶、茅根等药,结果变成了无度泄泻,吃稀粥也吃不饱,喜欢喝热饮,身体依然发热,舌苔灰淡黄,脉象濡数。这是贫贱体质之人,中气本来虚弱,寒凉药太过,一变而邪气陷入三阴,太阴清气不升,浊阴凝聚,虚气散逆,中气虚弱求食,有点像“除中”证,但尚未达到除中的程度。阴盛格阳,真寒假热,形势已进入险境。暂仿附子理中汤合小柴胡汤之意,希望应手见效则吉。

Li Zuo: Having suffered from damp-warmth (Shi Wen, a disease caused by dampness and heat pathogens) for four days, the patient presents with fever accompanied by sweating that does not alleviate the heat, chest fullness and distension, nausea, dry mouth but little desire to drink, a thin greasy yellow tongue coating, and a soggy slippery rapid pulse. This indicates latent pathogenic damp-heat spreading diffusely through the San Jiao (Triple Burner), with impaired Qi mechanism ventilation, mutual obstruction of phlegm-turbidity, and loss of stomach Qi descending harmony. The treatment should focus on ventilating Qi and using bland leeching methods.

Yu Zuo: Having suffered from damp-warmth for five days, the patient presents with persistent fever, sweating with aversion to wind, generalized bone ache, chest stuffiness and nausea, inability to eat, a thick greasy and dirty tongue coating, and a soggy slow pulse. This is latent warmth complicated by dampness and food stagnation, mutually obstructing the Middle Jiao; exterior pathogenic factors of the Taiyang channel are constrained, while interior dampness of the Taiyin spleen is pervasive. Clear Yang fails to ascend and Turbid Yin fails to descend; the stomach lacks the power to expand and harmonize, and the pathogenic momentum is rampant. It is proposed to modify Wu Ling San (Five-Ling Powder) combined with Ping Wei San (Pingwei Powder).

Wang Zuo: Affected by warm pathogenic factors and summer-heat dampness, complicated by stagnation mutually obstructing, involving the Taiyin Spleen and Yangming Stomach. Fever for five days, sweating without relief, chest fullness and nausea, abdominal pain with dysentery-like diarrhea occurring 40-50 times daily. The tongue tip is crimson, the center has a thick gray-greasy yellow coating, and the pulse is slippery, rapid, and forceful. Summer-heat is the Qi of Heaven, dampness is the Qi of Earth; summer-heat and dampness accumulate and steam in the Yangming, while damp-stagnation郁s in the intestines. The Qi mechanism is blocked, and the stomach loses harmony. This is a severe case of damp-warmth complicated by dysentery. Tentatively, it is suitable to vent latent pathogenic factors in the Qi level, resolve turbid filth in the Yangming, simultaneously release the exterior and interior, employing the principle of "treating obstruction with unblocking agents" (Tong Yin Tong Yong).

Li Zuo: Latent pathogenic damp-heat accumulates in the Qi level, spreading diffusely through the San Jiao. Body heat is lighter in the morning and heavier in the evening, persisting for over ten days. White rash appears but is sparse, indicating an original opportunity for damp-heat to secretly excrete. Unfortunately, at night, there is somniloquy resembling delirium, also caused by damp-heat steaming and clouding the clear orifices. Dry mouth, red urine, loose stools; heat is in the Yangming, dampness is in the Taiyin, as stated in the classics: "Heat clashing leads to diarrhea." Mr. Wu Jutong said: Damp-warmth diseases are misty and sticky, not easily resolved quickly; one must fear lingering and worsening. It is proposed to add ingredients to Ge Gen Huang Qin Huang Lian Tang (Kudzu, Scutellaria, and Coptis Decoction) to release the muscle layer and clear warmth, using bitter methods to transform damp-heat.

Wang You: Suffering from damp-warmth fever for two weeks (two hou), sweating without relief, lighter in the morning and heavier in the evening, dry mouth with little desire to drink, red rashes and white rash distributed between the chest and epigastrium. Pulse is rapid, coating is gray-yellow. Latent pathogenic damp-heat accumulates in the Qi level, spreading diffusely through the San Jiao. Mr. Ye Xianyan said: Damp-heat is a sticky pathogen, hardest to resolve suddenly, hence the prolonged fever. It is appropriate to use ventilation and transformation methods.

Yang Zuo: Suffering from damp-warmth for seven days, body heat with sweating but no relief, worse in the afternoon and night, bitter and dry mouth, thirst with little desire to drink, soggy slippery slightly rapid pulse, thin greasy tongue coating. Latent pathogenic factors harbor dampness, lingering in the Mo Yuan (Membrane Source), involving Shaoyang and Yangming. Previous treatment with Da Yuan Yin (Origin-Reaching Powder) for ventilation failed. Now, Chai Ge Jie Ji Tang (Bupleurum and Kudzu Muscle-Releasing Decoction) with modifications is proposed.

Second Visit: After taking two doses, body heat decreased significantly compared to before. Chest and epigastric discomfort remain, appetite is reduced, and sleep is poor. Residual damp-heat pathogens are not cleared; "when the stomach is not harmonious, sleep is uneasy." Pulse is soggy slippery, coating thin greasy slightly yellow. Now, aromatic and bland leeching methods are proposed to pacify residual pathogens. Avoiding wind and regulating diet is crucial to prevent recurrence.

Feng Zuo: Suffering from damp-warmth for three weeks (three hou), body heat with sweating but no relief, chest fullness and nausea, umbilical and abdominal distension, flaccidity and weakness of both legs unable to walk, greasy coating, soggy pulse. Damp pathogenic factors move from lower to upper, from exterior to interior; this is likely a severe case of Hong Kong Foot (Jiao Qi, Beriberi). If panting adds, it will be critical. Urgently, downward-draining dampness is proposed.

Fan Tong: Initially suffered from intermittent malaria, short chills and long fever. Subsequently, due to irregular diet, transformed into damp-warmth. Body heat lighter in morning, heavier in evening. During high fever, consciousness is confused, with delirious speech. Chest fullness, stifling sensation, nausea, loose stools. Tongue coating is gray-greasy and widespread, pulse is slippery and rapid. This is due to latent warmth complicated by dampness and stagnation, accumulating and steaming to generate phlegm. Phlegm-turbidity clouds the clear orifices, and Clear Yang Qi loses its openness. This cannot be compared to internal heat in the Yangming. There is great concern about transmission and changes. It is proposed to clear warmth, transform dampness, wash away phlegm, and eliminate stagnation. Removing有形 (material) pathogens allows无形 (immaterial) pathogens to disperse easily.

Second Visit: Since taking the previous prescription, various ailments have gradually lightened, except for nocturnal somniloquy resembling delirium. A certain physician considered it a summer-heat ailment, attributing it to summer-heat steaming the Pericardium, and administered Scutellaria, Coptis, Yi Yuan San, Bamboo Leaves, and Imperata Rhizome. This resulted in profuse diarrhea, eating porridge without satiety, craving hot drinks, persistent fever, gray-pale yellow tongue coating, and soggy rapid pulse. This is a person of humble constitution with originally deficient Middle Qi. Excessive cold-cooling herbs caused the pathogen to sink into the Three Yin channels. Taiyin Clear Yang fails to ascend, Turbid Yin condenses, deficient Qi scatters and rebels. Deficient Middle seeks food, resembling Chu Zhong (Exhaustion of Stomach Qi), though not yet reaching that state. Yin excess repelling Yang, true cold false heat, the situation has entered a dangerous realm. Tentatively imitating Fu Zi Li Zhong Tang (Aconite and Gastrodia Regulate the Middle Decoction) combined with Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction), hoping for a prompt response brings auspiciousness.

Third Visit: Warming and transporting Taiyin, harmonizing the pivot. After three doses, fever and diarrhea gradually decreased, distension relaxed. Although hungry in the epigastrium, appetite is low, all indicating a favorable condition. However, spirit is fatigued and lethargic, thirst prefers hot drinks, tongue is pale yellow, pulse is soggy, rapid, and powerless. This is Middle deficiency and Spleen weakness, drinking water to save itself. The effective formula is modified, no need to change structure.

Take three more doses, adding Stir-fried Chinese Yam (Chao Huai Yao, 3 qian).
Original Note: This case seems difficult to address at first glance, but since diarrhea occurs while the abdomen remains distended, it is clearly not excess distension. Gray-pale yellow coating and soggy rapid pulse are all false heat, as stated: "Do not follow the pulse but follow the symptoms."
Fei Zuo: Suffering from damp-warmth for three weeks (three hou). Initially, damp-heat toxin formed on the dorsum of the foot, rotting and ulcerating without pus, with surrounding redness, swelling, and pain. Chills and fever worsened in the evening, with somniloquy resembling delirium. Previous physicians repeatedly used cold-cooling detoxification herbs. Although the external sorelightened, frequent hiccups added, along with chest fullness, nausea, sweet-and-sour taste in the mouth, inability to eat, thirst without desire to drink, oral and lingual erosion, short red urine, and soggy slippery rapid pulse. This is due to excessive cold-cooling herbs causing dampness to constrain and heat to hide, heat residing within dampness, Stomach Yang constrained, Qi mechanism blocked, becoming a ruined case. It is discussed to enter pungent herbs to open, bitter herbs to descend, aromatic herbs to ventilate, and bland leeching herbs to promote urination. Compound formulas are planned for treatment; a prompt response is hoped for.

Second Visit: After continuously taking pungent-opening, bitter-descending, aromatic, and bland-leeching agents, hiccups stopped, nausea reduced. However, chest fullness and belching persist, oral/lingual erosion remains, sweet-and-sour taste in mouth, fluctuating fever, short red urine, soggy rapid pulse. Damp-heat is a sticky pathogen, hardest to resolve suddenly. Stuck in the Middle, it causes chest fullness and belching; steaming upwards, it causes sweet-and-sour taste; San Jiao regulation fails, causing short red urine; white rash does not appear, so pathogens have no exit. Since the previous formula was appropriate, proceed sequentially to seek subsequent effects.

Third Visit: Vomiting and nausea stopped, chest fullness not relieved, oral/lingual erosion reduced, white rash gradually appeared. Latent pathogenic damp-heat has an opportunity for secret excretion. No bowel movement for over ten days, short red urine, fever seems worse in the evening, pulse soggy rapid. Shen and You hours belong to Yangming prosperity time. Yangming fu organ filth cannot descend, residual dampness in San Jiao is hard to clear instantly. Continue original method, adding herbs to unblock the dark and moisten intestines. Once fu filth is removed, residual heat in meridians will naturally transform invisibly.

Xu You: Latent warmth complicated by dampness, sinking into Jueyin. Consciousness confused, jaw locked, cold limbs, dry and cracked lips, chest stuffiness and vomiting, inability to eat. Damp-heat brewed turbid phlegm, mutually obstructing Middle Jiao, stomach lost harmony. Pulse deep, fine, and rapid, coating gray-yellow. Moreover, constitutionally Yin deficient with internal blazing Liver Fire, plus pregnancy, greatly fearing miscarriage. This is a critical case. Imitating the classic principle "If there is pathology, there is no harm [to the fetus]," Si Ni San (Four Counterflow Powder) with modifications is proposed, hoping the sunk pathogen resolves via Yangming.

Second Visit: Yesterday, Si Ni San modification was taken. Consciousness gradually cleared, vomiting stopped. Although a good sign, jaw stiffness persists, dental crust lacks moisture, internal heat and dry mouth, chest stuffiness and coarse breathing. Pulse deep, fine, rapid. This is due to injured Yin fluids, lack of upward bearing of fluids, sunk warm pathogen unable to penetrate, phlegm-heat stuck in Lung collaterals, Lung losing distribution function. Moreover, pregnant for seven months, fetal Qi injured. Although small effect seen, not sufficient to rely on. Now, generating fluids and expelling pathogens, clearing spirit and washing phlegm is proposed. Whether turning danger to safety remains to be seen.

Third Visit: Consciousness gradually cleared, vomiting stopped, jaw stiffness relaxed. Dental crust lacks moisture, cough with unsatisfactory sputum, internal heat and dizziness. Pulse soggy, slippery, rapid. This is injured Yin fluids, scarce fluids failing to ascend, sunk pathogen having opportunity for secret excretion. Jue Yang rising, phlegm-heat stuck in Lung collaterals, Lung losing distribution. Pregnant seven months, now Taiyin Lung channel governs the fetus. Fetal heat attacks Lung, Lung Qi becomes more blocked. Although crossing dangerous ridges, not yet on smooth roads. Again, generating fluids, expelling pathogens, clearing spirit, washing phlegm is proposed, hoping righteous Qi wins and pathogens retreat.

Fourth Visit: Consciousness cleared, fluids returning, internal heat reduced. But vomiting restarted, inability to eat, fragmented pain in mouth and tongue, Fu Qi not moving. Pulse left wiry-rapid, right soggy-slippery. This is damp-fire rising, phlegm-turbidity not cleared, Lung and Stomach Qi unable to descend. If complications do not arise, gradual improvement is expected. Still, generating fluids and harmonizing Stomach, bitter-descending phlegm-turbidity is proposed.
