A pathology in which heat evil congests in the bowels and viscera and in the channels and network vessels, blocking normal movement out of the body. When in measles, for example, the heat toxin is not thrust outward to produce a maculopapular eruption but instead falls inward to block the lung and cause cough and hasty panting, the resulting condition is described as an internal heat toxin block.
