6. Urinary tract infections.?In acute cystitis and pyelitis and in chronic infection due to coli bacilli sulphanilamide is adequate but sulphacetamide has been particularly recommended because of its high solubility in urine. Its sodium salt (albucid soluble) may be injected intravenously in 30 per cent solution. Sulphathiazole or sulphadiazine may be given in resistant cases. The average daily dose is 3 gm. given in doses of 0.5 gm. four hourly, but during the first day 5 to 6 gm. may be given in order to bring about a rapid rise in the concentration. Fluid intake should be 5 pints daily to ensure a urinary output of at least 2 pints. The drug is more effective if combined with alkaline diuretics,
