吴鞠通治湿温初起三仁汤证案

某男，夏秋之交感受湿温，症见头痛恶寒，身重疼痛，午后身热，面色淡黄，胸闷不饥，舌白不渴，脉弦细而濡。

A man at the turn of summer and autumn contracted damp-warmth: headache with aversion to cold, body heaviness and aching, afternoon fever, a pallid-yellowish complexion, chest oppression without hunger, white tongue without thirst, and a wiry thin soggy pulse.

湿温初起，湿重于热，邪阻三焦气机。

Early-stage damp-warmth with dampness heavier than heat, the pathogen obstructing the qi dynamic of the Triple Burner.

以三仁汤宣畅气机、清利湿热。七剂后身热渐退，胸闷得舒，小便渐利；续进五剂而愈。

San Ren Tang was used to unblock and smooth the qi dynamic and to clear-disinhibit damp-heat. After seven doses the fever gradually abated, chest oppression eased, and urination became free; five further doses brought recovery.
