| description | Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a lethal immunopathological disease caused by
mutated feline enteric coronavirus found in both wild and domesticated cats. There
are limited local studies on the pattern of haematological and serum biochemical
parameters in FIP cats. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the pattern of
haematological and serum biochemical parameters in suspected FIP cats presented to
UVH, UPM and also to compare these parameters between dry form and wet form FIP. Medical records of cats suspected of FIP with compatible history and clinical
signs admitted to UVH from year 2014 to 2016 were reviewed and the sole inclusion
criterion was cats tested for FCoV antibody using dot-ELISA, Biogal‘s
Immunocomb® Feline Coronavirus Antibody Test Kit with medium to high positive
FCoV antibody titre (S3-S6). Data on signalment (age, sex and breed), haematology
and serum biochemistry results were obtained. Among the 132 suspected FIP cats,
81.1% had hyperproteinaemia, 88.6% had hyperglobulinaemia, 97.7% had A:G
ratio≤ 0.8 and46.2% had hypoalbuminaemia, 47.8% had neutrophilia with left shift,
44.7% had lymphopaenia, 41.7% had monocytosis, 55.3% had eosinopaenia, and
31.8% had nonregenerative anaemia. Parameters such as lymphocyte count
(P=0.002), eosinophil count (P=0.009), total protein (P=0.000), albumin (P=0.000),
globulin (P=0.041), ALT (P=0.016), ALP (P=0.025) and creatinine (P=0.047) were
found to be significantly different between dry form and wet form FIP. |
