小儿的气血怯弱娇嫩，脏腑功能软弱。因为触犯冒受风寒，饮食冷热不调，导致邪气干扰正气，致使脾胃不和，气机凝滞停积，蕴结毒邪发作。或者水谷精微不能聚敛，或者脓血纯杂相混，变化而成痢疾。其证候有八种：第一种叫水谷痢，说的是大便下泻粪质稀薄，不成形且散乱，排便畅快容易，水谷不消化。虽然也是泻便的时候，但也觉得里急后重，所以称为痢疾。第二种叫冷痢，说的是大便下泻纯白色的脓液。第三种叫热痢，说的是大便下泻纯红色的血液。第四种叫滞痢，说的是大便下泻脓血混杂。第五种叫积痢，说的是因为有积滞损伤而患痢疾，拖延久了即使痊愈也会复发。第六种叫疳痢，说的是患有疳积消瘦而下痢。第七种叫蛊痢，说的是像蛊毒一样，下紫黑色的血，或者像赤豆汁，或者像鸡鸭肝脏片状。第八种叫休惜痢（休息痢），说的是下黑黯色的血中带有白色物质，像肠中的脂膜，或者像烂鱼肠的样子。这是肠胃溃伤，患者更加休养爱惜，所以以此命名。也叫休息痢，意思是患病就没有休止直到死亡。凡是痢疾如果连粥药都不能进服的，这就属于死症了。治疗水谷痢的方剂，已经具备在前面的泄泻项之下。

The qi and blood of infants are timid and tender, and the zang-fu organs are weak. Due to exposure to wind-cold and irregular intake of hot or cold food and drink, pathogenic factors interfere with healthy qi, leading to disharmony of the spleen and stomach. Qi stagnation and accumulation occur, toxin accumulates and manifests as dysentery. This may present as failure of water and grain to consolidate, or a mixture of pus and blood, transforming into dysentery. There are eight types of presentations:
1. Water-Grain Dysentery (Shui Gu Li): Stools are loose and unformed, discharging easily without obstruction, characterized by undigested food and water. Although it resembles diarrhea, there is also a sensation of tenesmus (li ji hou zhong), hence it is termed dysentery.
2. Cold Dysentery (Leng Li): Stools consist purely of white pus.
3. Heat Dysentery (Re Li): Stools consist purely of red blood.
4. Stagnant Dysentery (Zhi Li): Stools contain a mixture of pus and blood.
5. Accumulation Dysentery (Ji Li): Caused by food accumulation injury; even if healed after a long duration, it tends to recur.
6. Gan Dysentery (Gan Li): Occurs in patients suffering from Gan syndrome (malnutrition/parasitic disease) accompanied by dysentery.
7. Gu Dysentery (Gu Li): Resembles Gu poison; stools contain dark purple-black blood, resembling red bean juice, or pieces resembling chicken or duck liver.
8. Resting Dysentery (Xiu Xi Li): Stools contain dark black blood mixed with white substances resembling intestinal mucosa or rotten fish intestines. This indicates ulceration and injury of the intestines and stomach. It is named "Resting" because the patient requires rest and care, or alternatively, because the illness has no respite until death. If a patient with dysentery cannot retain even gruel or medicine, this is a sign of impending death. The formula for treating Water-Grain Dysentery is provided under the section on Diarrhea.
