Translation into Modern Chinese:
Typhoid fever manifesting as mania. How should this be understood? "Mania" refers to reckless and unruly behavior, meaning a state of inner unrest. The *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues) states: When mania first begins, the patient sleeps little, has no appetite, yet considers themselves superior and virtuous; they claim to be wise and intelligent; they act arrogantly and disdainfully; they laugh inappropriately, enjoy singing and music; they walk around aimlessly without stopping. The onset of all cases of mania is caused by an excess of Yang. The *Nei Jing* (Inner Canon) states: When Yin cannot overcome Yang, the pulse becomes stagnant, thin, rapid, and combined, leading to mania. It also says: When pathogenic factors enter the Yang aspect, mania occurs; when they enter the Yin aspect, aphonia (loss of voice) occurs. The *Nan Jing* states: Excess Yang leads to mania; excess Yin leads to catatonia (dian). The *Mai Jing* (Pulse Classic) states: When Yin attaches to Yang, mania occurs; when Yang attaches to Yin, catatonia occurs. The *Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases) states: When Yang pathogens combine with Yang, mania occurs; when Yin pathogens combine with Yin, catatonia occurs. Thus, it is clear that mania in various meridians is due to Yang excess. Furthermore, in Yangming disease, the patient dislikes people and fire; hearing the sound of wood causes them to startle fearfully; their heart feels agitated; they prefer to stay alone behind closed doors and windows. In severe cases, they may want to climb high places and sing, discard their clothes and run, jump over walls, or climb onto roofs. These actions are not things they were previously capable of doing. This is called Yang pathogens combining with the Yangming meridian. In typhoid fever, heat toxins reside in the Stomach and combine with the Heart, disturbing the Spirit (Shen) and destabilizing the Will (Zhi), thereby causing mania. When typhoid fever progresses to mania, it indicates that pathogenic heat has reached its extreme. Only drastic purgation (vomiting or purging) can resolve it. There is also heat in the Lower Jiao (Lower Burner), where the patient appears manic ("ru kuang"). The classics state: When heat enters the Bladder, the patient appears manic. Being described as "appearing manic" means they have not yet reached full mania; they merely experience restlessness in lying down and getting up. If there is incoherent speech, eyes rolling back and staring straight ahead, this indicates the exhaustion of Kidney Qi. If sweating is followed by recurrent fever, incoherent speech, and inability to eat, this indicates the loss of Zhi (Will) and is a fatal sign. In such cases, medicine and acupuncture are likely ineffective; this represents a true, critical illness.
Typhoid fever manifesting as Huoluan (Colic with Vomiting and Diarrhea). How should this be understood? It is characterized by vomiting above and diarrhea below, with sudden and chaotic symptoms. When pathogens are in the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner), there is only vomiting without diarrhea. When pathogens are in the Lower Jiao (Lower Burner), there is only diarrhea without vomiting. However, if pathogens are in the Middle Jiao (Middle Burner), the Stomach Qi fails to regulate properly, damaged by pathogens, causing a separation of Yin and Yang, leading to both vomiting and diarrhea. If vomiting stops but diarrhea continues, or vice versa, it is not necessarily Huoluan. True Huoluan requires simultaneous upper vomiting and lower diarrhea, accompanied by agitation, restlessness, and chaos. This differs from cases simply described as vomiting and diarrhea. Typhoid fever with vomiting and diarrhea is caused by pathogenic invasion; Huoluan with vomiting and diarrhea is caused by dietary injury. Some cases involve concurrent typhoid pathogens, leading to internal and external disharmony, accompanied by headache, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. The classics ask: For a patient with fever, headache, body pain, aversion to cold, vomiting, and diarrhea, what disease is this? The answer is: This is named Huoluan. If after vomiting and diarrhea cease, fever recurs, this is Huoluan concurrent with typhoid fever. For Huoluan with headache and fever, if heat predominates and the patient desires water, Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is the primary treatment. If cold predominates and the patient does not desire water, Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill) is the primary treatment. Because the Middle Jiao loses regulation and Yin-Yang separate, there must be a bias. Bias toward Yang results in more heat; bias toward Yin results in more cold. Xu Renze stated: There are two types of Huoluan: Gan Huoluan (Dry Huoluan) and Shi Huoluan (Wet Huoluan). Dry Huoluan has a higher mortality rate; Wet Huoluan has a lower mortality rate. This is because in Wet Huoluan, the injured substances are expelled through vomiting and diarrhea. Although it is Huoluan, it stops once the food and water in the stomach are exhausted. Therefore, few die. In contrast, Dry Huoluan often leads to death because the patient cannot vomit upward nor defecate downward, so the injured substances cannot be expelled. This blocks the Righteous Qi (Zheng Qi), separates Yin and Yang, causing agitation, oppression, chaos, and restlessness without peace, along with panting and distension, leading to death from Dry Huoluan. Alas! Those who eat and drink in moderation and maintain regular daily routines, how could they contract Huoluan? "When food and drink exceed normal limits, the intestines and stomach are injured." The cause of death is truly self-inflicted.

In typhoid fever, heat toxins reside in the Stomach and combine with the Heart, disturbing the Shen (Spirit, 神) and destabilizing the Zhi (Will, 志), thereby inducing mania. When typhoid fever progresses to mania, it indicates that pathogenic heat has reached its extremity. Only drastic purgation (Da Tu Xia, 大吐下) can resolve it. There is also heat in the Lower Jiao (Xia Jiao, 下焦), where the patient appears manic (Ru Kuang, 如狂). The classics state: When heat enters the Bladder, the patient appears manic. Being described as "appearing manic" implies they have not yet reached full mania; they merely experience restlessness in lying down and rising. If there is incoherent speech (Kuang Yan, 狂言), eyes rolling back and staring straight ahead, this indicates the exhaustion of Kidney Qi.
