Wind malaria: when the fit breaks out there is sweating and aversion to wind — needle the blood of the back transport points of the three yang channels. When the shank aches and is so sore it cannot be pressed, it is called the marrow-adhering disease; with a chisel needle, needle the cut bone and let blood, and it ends at once.

營氣不從,逆於肉理,乃生癰腫。魄汗未盡,形弱而氣爍,穴俞以閉,發爲風瘧。 营气不从,逆于肉理,乃生痈肿。魄汗未尽,形弱而气烁,穴俞以闭,发为风疟。

When the ying qi does not follow and runs counter in the texture of the flesh, there is abscess and swelling. If the sweat has not ceased, the form is weak and the qi is scorched away, the transport points close, and it breaks out as wind malaria.
「發爲風瘧」——瘧讀 nüè;俞穴既閉,邪無從出,發為風瘧;下文「秋爲痎瘧」別是一證;**「風瘧」本篇1見**
