钱仲阳云∶小儿诸疳，皆因病后脾胃亏损；或用药过伤，不能传化乳食，内亡津液，虚火妄
动；或乳母六淫七情，饮食起居失宜，致儿为患。五脏之疳不同，当各分辨。肝疳者，一名
风疳，其症白膜遮睛，或泻血羸瘦。心疳者，其症面黄颊赤，身体壮热。脾疳者，一名肥疳
，其症肢体黄瘦，皮肤干涩，多生疮疥，腹大食土。肺疳者，一名气疳，其症喘嗽不已，口
鼻生疮。肾疳者，一名骨疳，其症肢体削瘦，遍身疮疥，喜卧湿地。杨氏云∶又有疳伤者，
五脏虫疳也，其名甚多，姑举其要。虫疳者，其虫如丝，出于头项腹背之间，黄白赤者可治
，青黑者难疗。蛔疳者，皱眉多啼，呕吐青沫，腹中作痛，肚腹青筋，唇口紫黑，头摇齿痒
。脊疳者，身热羸黄，烦渴下利，拍背有声，脊骨如锯齿，十指皆疮，频啮爪甲。脑疳者，
头皮光急，满头并疮，脑热如火，发结如穗，遍身多汗，腮肿囟高。疳渴者，日则烦渴，饮
水不食，夜则渴止。疳泻者，毛焦唇含，额上青纹，肚胀肠鸣，泻下糟粕。疳痢者，停积宿
滞，水谷不聚，泻下恶物。疳肿者，虚中有积，肚腹紧胀，脾复受湿，则头面手足虚浮。疳
劳者，潮热往来，五心烦热，盗汗骨蒸，嗽喘枯悴，渴泻饮水，肚硬如石，面色如银。无辜
疳者，脑后颈边有核如弹丸，按之转动，软而不疼，其内有虫，不速针出，则内食脏腑，肢
体痈疽，便利脓血，壮热羸瘦，头露骨高。相传儿衣夜露，为鸱鸟羽所污亦致此症。若手足
极细，项小骨高，尻削体痿，腹大脐突，号哭胸陷，名丁奚。若虚热往来，头骨分开，翻食
吐虫，烦渴呕秽，名哺露。若牙齿蚀烂，名走马疳。盖齿属肾，肾虚受热，疳火上炎，致口
臭齿黑，甚则龈烂牙宣。大抵其症虽多，要不出于五脏。治法∶肝疳，用地黄丸以生肾。心
疳，用安神丸以治心；异功散以补脾。脾疳，用四味肥儿丸以治疳；五味异功散以生土。肺
疳，用清肺饮以治肺；益气汤以生金。脑疳，亦用地黄丸。无辜疳，用大芜荑汤、蟾蜍丸。丁
奚、哺露，用肥儿丸、大芦荟丸。走马疳，敷雄黄散；服蟾蜍丸。若作渴泻痢，肿胀劳瘵等类
，当详参方论而治之。盖疳者干也，因脾胃津液干涸而患，在小儿为五疳，在大人为五劳，总
以调补胃气为主。

钱仲阳说：小儿的各种疳症，都是由于病后脾胃受损；或者用药过度损伤了脾胃，导致无法运化乳食，体内津液枯竭，虚火妄动；或者是乳母受到六淫（风、寒、暑、湿、燥、火）和七情（喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊）的影响，饮食起居不当，从而连累婴儿患病。五脏的疳症各不相同，应当分别辨别。肝疳，又名风疳，症状是眼白膜遮盖瞳孔，或者腹泻便血、身体消瘦。心疳，症状是面色黄而两颊红赤，身体高热。脾疳，又名肥疳，症状是肢体黄瘦，皮肤干燥粗糙，容易生疮疥，腹部胀大且喜欢吃泥土。肺疳，又名气疳，症状是咳嗽气喘不止，口鼻生疮。肾疳，又名骨疳，症状是肢体削瘦，全身生疮疥，喜欢躺在潮湿的地方。杨氏说：还有因虫伤引起的疳症，即五脏虫疳，名称很多，这里只列举主要的。虫疳，其虫像丝线一样，从头项腹背之间生出，颜色黄白赤色的可以治疗，青黑色的难治。蛔疳，症状是皱眉多哭，呕吐青色泡沫，腹中疼痛，肚腹上有青筋，嘴唇口角紫黑，摇头牙齿痒。脊疳，症状是身体发热、消瘦发黄，烦躁口渴、腹泻，拍打背部有声音，脊骨像锯齿一样突出，十个手指都生疮，频繁咬指甲。脑疳，症状是头皮光亮紧绷，满头生疮，脑部发热如火，头发结成穗状，全身多汗，腮部肿胀、囟门高突。疳渴，症状是白天烦躁口渴，喝水但不吃东西，晚上口渴停止。疳泻，症状是毛发焦枯、嘴唇干裂，额头上有青纹，肚子胀肠鸣，拉下未消化的食物残渣。疳痢，症状是停滞积存宿食，水谷不能聚合，拉下恶臭之物。疳肿，症状是虚证中有积滞，肚腹紧胀，脾脏再次受湿，则头面手足虚浮。疳劳，症状是潮热往来，五心烦热，盗汗骨蒸，咳嗽气喘、干枯憔悴，口渴腹泻想喝水，肚子硬如石头，面色苍白如银。无辜疳，症状是脑后颈边有核如弹丸大小，按压能转动，软而不痛，里面含有虫子，如果不迅速针刺排出，虫子就会向内侵蚀脏腑，导致肢体痈疽，大小便脓血，高热消瘦，头露骨高。相传是因为婴儿的胎盘在夜间暴露，被猫头鹰羽毛污染所致，也会引起这种病症。如果手脚极细，脖子小骨头高，臀部削瘦身体痿软，肚子大肚脐突出，号哭时胸部凹陷，名叫丁奚。如果虚热往来，头骨分开，反胃吐虫，烦躁口渴呕吐秽物，名叫哺露。如果牙齿蚀烂，名叫走马疳。因为牙齿属于肾，肾虚受热，疳火上炎，导致口臭齿黑，甚至牙龈腐烂、牙齿松动脱落。大抵这些症状虽然多，但总归不出于五脏。治疗方法：肝疳，用地黄丸以滋补肾水。心疳，用安神丸以宁心安神；异功散以补益脾气。脾疳，用四味肥儿丸以治疗疳症；五味异功散以健脾生土。肺疳，用清肺饮以清肺热；益气汤以补肺金。脑疳，也用地黄丸。无辜疳，用大芜荑汤、蟾蜍丸。丁奚、哺露，用肥儿丸、大芦荟丸。走马疳，外敷雄黄散；内服蟾蜍丸。如果出现口渴、腹泻、痢疾、肿胀、劳瘵等类似症状，应当详细参考方论进行治疗。大概疳就是“干”的意思，是因为脾胃津液干涸而患病，在小儿称为五疳，在大人称为五劳，总体都以调补胃气为主。

一个小儿四肢消瘦，肚腹渐大，寒热嗜卧，作渴引饮，这是肝脾疳。名叫丁奚哺露，用白术散为主，佐以十全丹，一个多月诸症渐愈，后用异功散加当归及六味丸而痊愈。
一个小儿患疳，虚症具备，热如火烤，病状不能尽述，早晨用异功散，晚上用四味肥儿丸，一个多月诸症稍愈，佐以九味地黄丸，能自行行走。随后早晨用六味地黄丸，晚上用异功散及蚵蟆丸而痊愈。

Qian Zhongyang stated: Various types of Gan syndrome (malnutrition syndrome characterized by dryness and wasting) in children all result from damage to the Spleen and Stomach after illness; or from excessive medication injuring the organs, leading to an inability to transform and transport milk and food, internal depletion of Body Fluids, and reckless movement of Deficient Fire; or due to the wet nurse being affected by the Six Evils (Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire) and Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Pensiveness, Sadness, Fear, Fright), improper diet and daily routine, thereby causing harm to the infant. The Gan syndromes of the Five Zang Organs differ and should be distinguished respectively. Liver Gan, also known as Wind Gan, presents with a white membrane obscuring the pupil, or diarrhea with blood, emaciation. Heart Gan presents with a yellow complexion, red cheeks, and high fever. Spleen Gan, also known as Fat Gan, presents with yellowish emaciation of the limbs, dry and rough skin, frequent sores and scabies, abdominal distension, and pica for eating earth. Lung Gan, also known as Qi Gan, presents with incessant coughing and wheezing, and sores in the mouth and nose. Kidney Gan, also known as Bone Gan, presents with emaciated limbs, widespread sores and scabies, and a preference for lying on damp ground. Yang Shi said: There is also Gan injury caused by parasites, i.e., Five Zang Parasitic Gan, with many names; here only the main ones are listed. Parasitic Gan involves worms like silk threads emerging between the head, neck, abdomen, and back; those that are yellow, white, or red are treatable, while those that are green or black are difficult to treat. Ascaris Gan presents with frowning and frequent crying, vomiting of green foam, abdominal pain, visible blue veins on the abdomen, purple-black lips and mouth, head shaking, and itchy teeth. Spine Gan presents with fever, emaciation, and yellowish discoloration, irritability, thirst, and diarrhea, a sound upon patting the back, spine protruding like saw teeth, sores on all ten fingers, and frequent nail-biting. Brain Gan presents with shiny and tight scalp, widespread head sores, brain heat feeling like fire, hair matted into tufts, generalized sweating, swollen cheeks, and a bulging fontanelle. Gan Thirst presents with daytime irritability and thirst, drinking water but not eating, and cessation of thirst at night. Gan Diarrhea presents with brittle hair, cracked lips, blue lines on the forehead, abdominal distension, borborygmus, and passage of undigested food residue. Gan Dysentery presents with stagnation of retained food, failure of water and grain to consolidate, and passage of foul matter. Gan Edema presents with deficiency accompanied by accumulation, tight abdominal distension; if the Spleen re-acquires Dampness, then the face, head, hands, and feet become flaccidly swollen. Gan Consumption presents with tidal fever, alternating sensations, five-palm heat, night sweats, bone-steaming fever, coughing and wheezing with emaciation, thirst and diarrhea with desire to drink, hard abdomen like stone, and a silvery-white complexion. Innocuous Gan presents with nodules behind the ears and on the side of the neck, sized like beans, movable upon pressure, soft and painless, containing parasites; if not rapidly punctured to expel them, the parasites will internally consume the Zang-Fu organs, leading to limb carbuncles, pus and blood in stool and urine, high fever, and emaciation. It is transmitted that exposure of the infant's placenta at night, contaminated by owl feathers, can also cause this syndrome. If the hands and feet are extremely thin, the neck small with prominent bones, buttocks wasted with body weakness, large abdomen with protruding umbilicus, and crying with chest depression, it is named Ding Xi. If there is alternating deficient heat, separated cranial sutures, regurgitation with worm vomiting, irritability, thirst, and vomiting of foul matter, it is named Bu Lu. If the teeth are eroded and decayed, it is named Running Horse Gan. Since teeth belong to the Kidney, Kidney deficiency with heat causes Gan Fire to flare upward, resulting in bad breath and blackened teeth, and even gingival rot and loose teeth. Generally, although these symptoms are numerous, they ultimately do not exceed the Five Zang Organs. Treatment methods: For Liver Gan, use Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill) to nourish Kidney Water. For Heart Gan, use Anshen Wan (Calming Spirit Pill) to treat the Heart; Yigong San (Extraordinary Efficacy Powder) to tonify the Spleen. For Spleen Gan, use Siwei Fei'er Wan (Four-Ingredient Child-Nourishing Pill) to treat Gan; Wuwei Yigong San (Five-Ingredient Extraordinary Efficacy Powder) to generate Earth. For Lung Gan, use Qingfei Yin (Lung-Clearing Decoction) to treat the Lung; Yiqi Tang (Qi-Boosting Decoction) to generate Metal. For Brain Gan, also use Dihuang Wan. For Innocuous Gan, use Dayuwai Tang (Large Wormwood Decoction) and Chan Chu Wan (Toad Pill). For Ding Xi and Bu Lu, use Fei'er Wan (Child-Nourishing Pill) and Da Lusha Wan (Large Aloe Pill). For Running Horse Gan, apply Xionghuang San (Realgar Powder) externally; take Chan Chu Wan internally. For conditions such as thirst, diarrhea, dysentery, swelling, and consumption, one should consult relevant formulas and theories for treatment. Essentially, "Gan" means dryness; it arises from the depletion of Spleen and Stomach Body Fluids. In children, it is called Five Gans; in adults, it is called Five Consumptions. The general principle is to regulate and tonify Stomach Qi.
Clinical Cases (also refer to anal itching):
The grandson of Vice Director Chen, aged three, had sores on his cheeks that spread and corroded both eyes, with a large abdomen and visible blue veins, and turbid white urine. This was a symptom of Liver Gan. He recovered after two doses of Dayuwai Tang.
The son of Department Director Chen had widespread sores, sallow complexion, abdominal distension with internal heat, irregular bowel movements, poor appetite, fatigue, and dry mouth. This was a Liver-Spleen Gan syndrome. He recovered within a month using Da Lusha Wan.
The grandson of Minister of Works Chen had an abdominal mass and irregular urination. After using Qi-moving and Blood-breaking medicines, he developed fever, dry mouth, emaciation, reluctance to eat, and a yellowish-green complexion, nearly becoming a Consumption case.

A twelve-year-old girl had white films on her eyes, sallow and puffy face, dry mouth, and diarrhea. She recovered using Siwei Fei'er Wan.
A child shook his head and blinked, with thirst and hematochezia. This was Liver Meridian Blood deficiency with Wind-Heat. He recovered using Dihuang Wan. If it were Liver Meridian Damp-Heat, Xieqing Wan would be used concurrently. This follows the principle: tonify the Mother when deficient, drain the Son when excess.
An eleven-year-old child had nodules behind each ear and below the mastoid process, unchanged in color and painless, but with a sallow complexion, fatigue, dry mouth, and irregular defecation. He was treated with Lusha Wan, and all symptoms resolved immediately.

The young son of Vice Minister Shi, aged two, had neck nodules and cried while tilting his head back. Someone thought it was an internal rupture of heat sores and punctured it. After taking detoxifying medicine, he cried with a curved waist. I said this is named Innocuous Gan; crying while extending the body indicates an external manifestation; crying while bending the waist indicates an internal manifestation. The Original Qi was exhausted, and indeed, he died.
A child had emaciated limbs, gradually enlarging abdomen, chills and fever with lethargy, thirst with desire to drink. This was Liver-Spleen Gan, named Ding Xi Bu Lu. He was primarily treated with Baizhu San, assisted by Shiquan Dan. After more than a month, symptoms gradually improved, and he recovered using Yigong San added with Danggui and Liuwei Wan.
A child with Gan presented with all deficiency symptoms, heat like burning, and unenumerable signs. Morning: Yigong San; Evening: Siwei Fei'er Wan.
