Consequently, it is not surprising, as previous reports from this laboratory have already indicated,1, 2, 3that in the administration of sulfadiazine little influence was observed on the incidence and severity of acute respiratory infections presumably of viral etiology. In organizing the clinical studies, therefore, it became important to measure the effects of drug treatment in terms of changes and fluctuations in the bacterial flora of the upper air passages.
