This has been found to follow the use of cantharides and other irritant
diuretics, and to follow on certain specific diseases. Its nature is
that of catarrhal inflammation, but with a fibrinous product or false
membrane formed more or less extensively on the inflamed mucosa.
_Symptoms_ are essentially those of catarrhal cystitis from which it is
distinguished by the presence in the urine of flakes of the fibrinous
membrane.
_Treatment_ is essentially the same as in the catarrhal form, to which
may be added the injection of a solution of 4 grains scale pepsin to the
ounce of sterilized water. The boric acid solution may be of the
strength of 20 per cent. Irrigate two or three times a day.
