论述说：久疟，是指疟疾迁延不愈。若此前发汗、催吐、泻下等治疗过度，导致人体真气虚弱，邪气深入，沉伏于体内，卫气不能正常抗邪，因此经过长年累月也难以治愈。虽然患者可能出现虚痞（因虚致痞满）的症状，但不可使用攻伐之法，应当在疟疾发作之前，用汤剂来发汗。因为通过药物的浸渍熏蒸作用，邪气才能排出；邪气排出后，若出现微微出汗、小便通利的情况，说明表里调和，久疟自然痊愈。

Discussion states: Ji Nu (Chronic Malaria) refers to malaria that persists and does not heal. If previous treatments involving sweating, vomiting, or purging were excessive, leading to a deficiency of Zhen Qi (True Qi), the pathogenic factor becomes deep-seated, sinking internally to invade, while Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) fails to respond appropriately. Consequently, it is difficult to cure even after years. Although symptoms such as Xu Pi (deficiency-type fullness) may appear, aggressive treatment should be avoided. Instead, decoctions should be administered prior to the onset of an attack to induce sweating. Through the soaking and steaming effects of the medication, the pathogenic factor can be expelled. Once expelled, if slight sweating and free urination occur, it indicates that both the exterior and interior are harmonized, and chronic malaria will naturally resolve.
