《巢氏病源》小儿伤寒后下痢候,伤寒是寒气客于皮肤,搏于血气,使腠理闭密,气不宣泄,蕴积生热,使
头痛体疼而壮热也。其热歇后而痢者,是热从表入里故也。表热虽歇而里热犹停肠胃,与水谷相并。肠胃虚,
则泄痢,其状痢色黄;若热势不止,则变为血痢;若重遇冷热相加,则变赤白滞痢也。
《活人书》论伤寒小儿、大人治,一般但小分剂,药差凉耳。问∶下痢者,何也?伤寒下痢多种,须识别阴
阳,勿令差互。(三阳下利则身热,太阴下利手足温,少阴、厥阴下利身不热。以此别之。大抵下利挟太阳脉证便不得用
温药,俗医但见下利,便作阴证用温热药,鲜不发黄,生斑而死也。)太阳阳明合病,必下痢,葛根汤主之。(下利而头
疼、腰痛、肌热、目疼、鼻干,其脉浮大而长者,是其证也。)太阳、少阳合病,自下痢,黄芩汤主之。若呕者,黄芩
加半夏生姜也。(下利而头疼胸满,或口苦咽干,或往来寒热而呕,其脉浮大而弦者,是其证候也。)阳明、少阳合病,
必下利,其脉不负者,顺也;负者,失也。互相克贼,名为负也。(下利而身热,胸胁痞满,干呕,或往来寒热,其脉
长大而弦者,是实证也。盖阳明者土,其脉长大而少阳者木,其脉弦。若合病。土被木贼,更下利为胃已困,若脉不弦
者顺也,为土不负,负者死也。)自利不渴属太阴,(四逆汤、理中汤主之。)自利而渴属少阴,(白通汤加猪胆汤、通脉
四逆汤、猪苓汤、四逆加人参汤,可检证而用之。)其余下痢,皆因汗下后证也。大抵伤寒下痢,须看脉与外证。下痢
而脉大者,虚也。脉微弱者,为自止。下痢日十余行,脉反实者,逆。下利脉数而滑者,有宿食也,下之愈。脉迟而滑
者,实也,其利未得便止,更宜下之。下利三部脉皆平,按其心下硬者,急下之。挟热利者,脐下必热,大便赤黄色及
肠间津汁垢腻。(谓之肠垢。)寒毒入胃则翻,脐下必寒,腹胀满,大便或黄白,或青黑,或下利清谷。湿毒瓦斯盛则下利
腹痛,大便如脓血,或如烂肉汁也。下利欲饮水者,以有热也。下利谵语者,有燥屎也。寒毒入胃者,四逆汤、理中汤、
白通汤加附子、四逆散加薤白主之。挟热利者,黄芩白头翁汤、三黄熟艾汤、薤白汤、赤石脂丸。湿毒下脓血者,桃花
汤、地榆汤、黄连阿胶散。虽然自利而渴属少阴。然三阳下利亦有饮水者,乃有热也。三阴下利,宜温之。然少阴自
利清水,心下痛,口干燥者,却宜下之。此又不可不知也。(少阴泄利下重,不可投热药,先浓煎葱白汤,内四逆散,
用枳实、芍药之类。又寻常胃中不和,腹中雷鸣下利,生姜泻心汤最妙。此二法,不特伤寒证也。)

《巢氏病源》中关于小儿伤寒后出现下痢的论述:伤寒是寒邪侵袭皮肤,与血气相搏结,导致腠理(皮肤毛孔及纹理)闭塞紧密,气机不能宣通发散,郁积而化生热邪,从而引起头痛、身体疼痛和高烧。如果在热势消退后出现下痢,这是因为热邪从体表传入体内所致。虽然表热已退,但里热仍停留在肠胃之中,与水谷相互混杂。若肠胃虚弱,则发生泄泻或痢疾,其症状表现为痢色发黄;如果热势持续不止,则会转变为血痢;如果再重感冷热之邪相加,就会变成赤白相间的滞痢。
《活人书》讨论伤寒在小儿和成人中的治疗,原则基本相同,只是剂量较小,药性偏凉罢了。问:什么是下痢?伤寒引起的下痢有多种类型,必须辨别阴阳,不要弄错。(三阳经的下利伴有身体发热,太阴经的下利手足温暖,少阴、厥阴经的下利身体不发热。据此来加以区别。大抵来说,下利如果兼有太阳脉证,就不得使用温药,世俗医生只要见到下利,就当作阴证使用温热药物,很少有不出现发黄、生斑疹而死亡的。)太阳阳明合病,必然出现下痢,用葛根汤主治。(下痢同时伴有头痛、腰痛、肌肉发热、眼睛疼痛、鼻干,脉象浮大而长的,就是这种证候。)太阳、少阳合病,自然出现下痢,用黄芩汤主治。如果有呕吐症状,用黄芩加半夏生姜汤。(下痢同时伴有头痛、胸满,或者口苦咽干,或者寒热往来且呕吐,脉象浮大而弦的,就是这种证候。)阳明、少阳合病,必然出现下利,脉象没有“负”象的,为顺证;出现“负”象的,为逆证。互相克贼,称为“负”。(下痢同时伴有身热、胸胁痞满、干呕,或者寒热往来,脉象长大而弦的,是实证。因为阳明属土,其脉长大;少阳属木,其脉弦。如果是合病,土被木所克贼,再加上腹泻,说明胃气已经困顿,如果脉象不弦,则为顺证,表示土不被木克贼;如果出现“负”象,则主死。)自发性下利且不口渴的,属于太阴病(用四逆汤、理中汤主治)。自发性下利且口渴的,属于少阴病(可用白通汤加猪胆汁汤、通脉四逆汤、猪苓汤、四逆加人参汤,根据具体证候选择使用)。其余的下痢,都是因发汗或攻下后的变证。大抵伤寒下痢,必须观察脉象和外在证候。下痢而脉大的,是虚证。脉微弱的,预示下利将自止。下利一天十几次,脉象反而实有力的,是逆证。下利脉数而滑的,是有宿食,用攻下法可愈。脉迟而滑的,是实证,下利不会立刻停止,更适合用攻下法。下利三部脉象都平和,但按压心下部感觉硬实的,应当急用攻下法。挟热利的患者,脐下必定发热,大便呈赤黄色以及肠间有津液垢腻。(这叫做肠垢。)寒毒侵入胃中会导致翻吐,脐下必定寒冷,腹胀满,大便或黄白,或青黑,或下利清谷(完谷不化)。湿毒之气旺盛则导致下利腹痛,大便像脓血,或者像烂肉汁一样。下利想喝水的,是因为有热。下利说胡话的,是有燥屎。寒毒入胃的,用四逆汤、理中汤、白通汤加附子、四逆散加薤白主治。挟热利的,用黄芩白头翁汤、三黄熟艾汤、薤白汤、赤石脂丸主治。湿毒下脓血的,用桃花汤、地榆汤、黄连阿胶散主治。虽然自利而口渴属于少阴病,但是三阳经下利也有想喝水的,那是因为有热。三阴经下利,适宜用温法治疗。然而少阴病自利清水,心下部疼痛,口干燥的,却适宜用攻下法。这一点又不可不知道。(少阴病泄利伴有肛门重坠感,不可投用热药,先浓煎葱白汤,加入四逆散,使用枳实、芍药之类。另外,寻常胃中不和,腹中雷鸣般作响而下利,用生姜泻心汤最为巧妙。这两种方法,不仅适用于伤寒证。)

According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Master Chao) regarding the prognosis of dysentery following pediatric typhoid fever: Typhoid fever is caused by cold pathogenic factors invading the skin and contending with blood and qi, causing the cou li (skin pores and texture) to close tightly. This prevents the free diffusion of qi, leading to accumulation and transformation into heat, which results in headache, body pain, and high fever. If dysentery occurs after the heat subsides, it is because the heat has entered from the exterior into the interior. Although the exterior heat has ceased, interior heat remains stagnant in the intestines and stomach, mixing with food and fluids. If the intestines and stomach are deficient, diarrhea or dysentery ensues, characterized by yellow-colored stool; if the heat continues unchecked, it transforms into bloody dysentery; if further complicated by cold and heat pathogens, it becomes a dysentery with both red and white mucus.
The *Huo Ren Shu* (Book that Revives People) discusses the treatment of typhoid fever in children and adults, noting that the principles are generally the same, but dosages are smaller and the medicinal properties are cooler. Question: What constitutes dysentery? There are various types of dysentery caused by typhoid fever; one must distinguish between Yin and Yang patterns to avoid errors. (In Yang channel dysentery, there is body heat; in Taiyin channel dysentery, the hands and feet are warm; in Shaoyin and Jueyin channel dysentery, the body is not hot. These features help differentiate them. Generally, if dysentery presents with Taiyang pulse and symptoms, warming medicines should not be used. Empirical physicians often treat all dysentery as a Yin pattern using warming and hot medicines, rarely avoiding outcomes such as jaundice, macules, and death.) In combined diseases of Taiyang and Yangming, dysentery inevitably occurs, treated primarily with Gegen Tang (Pueraria Decoction). (Symptoms include dysentery accompanied by headache, lower back pain, muscle heat, eye pain, nasal dryness, and a floating, large, and long pulse.) In combined diseases of Taiyang and Shaoyang, spontaneous dysentery occurs, treated primarily with Huangqin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction). If vomiting is present, Huangqin Jia Banxia Shengjiang Tang (Scutellaria Decoction with Added Pinellia and Fresh Ginger) is used. (Symptoms include dysentery with headache and chest fullness, bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, alternating chills and fever, vomiting, and a floating, large, and wiry pulse.) In combined diseases of Yangming and Shaoyang, dysentery inevitably occurs. If the pulse does not show "Fu" (defeat/negative), it is a favorable condition; if it shows "Fu," it is unfavorable. Mutual overacting is called "Fu." (Symptoms include dysentery with body heat, epigastric and hypochondriac stuffiness, dry retching, or alternating chills and fever, and a large, long, and wiry pulse, indicating an excess pattern. Yangming belongs to Earth, with a large and long pulse; Shaoyang belongs to Wood, with a wiry pulse. In combined disease, if Wood overacts on Earth, worsening the dysentery, the Stomach Qi is exhausted. If the pulse is not wiry, it is favorable, meaning Earth is not defeated by Wood; if "Fu" appears, it indicates death.) Spontaneous dysentery without thirst belongs to Taiyin (treated with Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) or Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction)). Spontaneous dysentery with thirst belongs to Shaoyin (Baitong Tang (White Onion Decoction) with added Pig Bile, Tongmai Sini Tang (Unblock the Pulse Sini Decoction), Zhuling Tang (Polyporus Decoction), or Sini Jia Renshen Tang (Sini Decoction with Added Ginseng) may be selected based on the syndrome). Other forms of dysentery are sequelae after sweating or purging therapies. Generally, for dysentery in typhoid fever, one must observe the pulse and external signs. Dysentery with a large pulse indicates deficiency. A weak pulse suggests the dysentery will stop spontaneously. Dysentery occurring more than ten times a day with a seemingly strong pulse is an adverse sign. A rapid and slippery pulse indicates retained food residue, which can be cured by purging. A slow and slippery pulse indicates excess; the dysentery will not stop immediately, and purging is appropriate. If the pulses in all three positions are level but the epigastrium feels hard upon palpation, urgent purging is required. For dysentery with accompanying heat, the area below the umbilicus will be hot, and the stool will be reddish-yellow with greasy intestinal fluid (called chang gou, intestinal filth). When cold toxins enter the stomach, vomiting occurs, the area below the umbilicus is cold, abdominal distension is present, and stools may be yellow-white, green-black, or contain undigested food. When damp-toxic qi is abundant, dysentery with abdominal pain occurs, with stools resembling pus and blood or rotten meat juice. Desire to drink water during dysentery indicates heat. Delirium during dysentery indicates dry fecal matter. Cold toxins entering the stomach are treated with Sini Tang, Lizhong Tang, Baitong Tang with added Fuzi (Aconite Root), or Sini San (Frigid Extremities Powder) with added Xiebai (Allium Macrostemon Bulb). Dysentery with accompanying heat is treated with Huangqin Baitouweng Tang (Scutellaria and Pulsatilla Decoction), Sanhuang Shuai Ai Tang (Three Yellows and Cooked Mugwort Decoction), Xiebai Tang, or Chishizhi Wan (Red Halloysite Pill). Dysentery with pus and blood due to damp-toxin is treated with Taohua Tang (Peach Flower Decoction), Diyü Tang (Sanguisorba Decoction), or Huanglian Ejiao San (Coptis and Donkey-Hide Gelatin Powder). Although spontaneous dysentery with thirst belongs to Shaoyin, some cases of Yang channel dysentery also involve desire to drink water due to heat. Yin channel dysentery should be treated with warming methods. However, in Shaoyin disease, spontaneous discharge of clear water, pain in the epigastrium, and dry mouth/throat indicate the need for purging. This point must not be overlooked. (For Shaoyin dysentery with a sensation of heaviness in the anus, hot medicines should not be administered initially; instead, decoct Congbai Tang (Green Onion Decoction) strongly, add Sini San, and use Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange) and Shaoyao (Peony Root). Additionally, for general stomach disharmony with borborygmus and dysentery, Shengjiang Xiexin Tang (Fresh Ginger Decoction to Drain the Epigastrium) is excellent. These two methods apply not only to typhoid fever syndromes.)
