Résumé

This study was designed to assess the diagnostic utility for FIP of cytology, protein measurement and RT-PCR for feline coronaviruses (FCoV) on aqueous humor (AH), since little information is currently available. AH samples ( The proportion of RT-PCR positive samples did not differ among groups, while positive cytology was more frequent in samples with FIP ( Based on the LR+, cytology and/or RT-PCR may support the diagnosis when the pre-test probability of FIP is high. The concentration of intraocular protein is a promising marker, especially in NE-FIP.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
This study was designed to assess the diagnostic utility for FIP of cytology, protein measurement and RT-PCR for feline coronaviruses (FCoV) on aqueous humor (AH), since little information is currently available.
METHODS METHODS
AH samples (
RESULTS RESULTS
The proportion of RT-PCR positive samples did not differ among groups, while positive cytology was more frequent in samples with FIP (
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Based on the LR+, cytology and/or RT-PCR may support the diagnosis when the pre-test probability of FIP is high. The concentration of intraocular protein is a promising marker, especially in NE-FIP.
