(附论)
热病导致发黄,全身及面目均呈现黄色,遍体疼痛,心中烦乱且高热,肩项部疼痛且僵硬,腰背部拘急不舒。这是由于寒气在体表,导致热气蓄积于脾胃,腠理(皮肤毛孔)闭塞不开,瘀热郁结在内,宿食停滞郁蒸,无法消化,从而导致大小便不通畅。因此身体和面目都变成黄色。凡是出现发黄的病症,如果寸口脉(手腕桡动脉处)近掌根处摸不到脉搏,口鼻气息寒冷,都是不可治愈的征象,必定死亡。

Jaundice caused by heat disease presents with yellowing of the entire body and face, generalized pain, mental restlessness, and high fever. There is pain and stiffness in the shoulders and neck, and tension and tightness in the lower back. This occurs because cold pathogenic factors are on the exterior, causing heat to accumulate in the Spleen and Stomach. The Cou Li (skin pores) fail to open, leading to stagnant heat within. Retained food stagnates and steams without being digested, resulting in obstruction of urination and defecation. Consequently, the body and face turn yellow. In cases of jaundice, if the pulse at the Cun Kou (radial artery at the wrist) near the palm is imperceptible, and the breath from the mouth and nose is cold, these are signs that the condition is incurable and inevitably fatal.
