Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of Feline Infectious Peritonitis: A Review of the Current Literature.
Sandra Felten,Katrin Hartmann +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on all important steps every veterinary practitioner has to deal with and new diagnostic tests that can be considered when encountering a cat with suspected FIP with the aim to establish a definitive diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of feline coronavirus spike gene mutations as a tool to diagnose feline infectious peritonitis
Sandra Felten,Karola Weider,Stephanie J Doenges,Stefanie Gruendl,Kaspar Matiasek,Walter Hermanns,Elisabeth Mueller,Lara Matiasek,Andrea Fischer,Karin Weber,Johannes Hirschberger,Gerhard Wess,Katrin Hartmann +12 more
TL;DR: A positive result is highly indicative of the presence of FIP, but as none of the control cats tested positive by RT-nPCR, it was not possible to confirm that the FCoV mutant described can only be found in cats with FIP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of Feline Coronavirus Shedding in Feces with Coronavirus Antibody Titer.
Sandra Felten,Ute Klein-Richers,Regina Hofmann-Lehmann,Michèle Bergmann,Stefan Unterer,Christian M. Leutenegger,Katrin Hartmann +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that antibody measurement cannot replace fecal RT-qPCR in the management of FCoV infections in multi-cat environments, but the cats’ antibody titers correlate with the likelihood and frequency of F coV shedding and fecal virus load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity and specificity of a real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction detecting feline coronavirus mutations in effusion and serum/plasma of cats to diagnose feline infectious peritonitis
Sandra Felten,Christian M. Leutenegger,Hans Joerg Balzer,Nikola Pantchev,Kaspar Matiasek,Gerhard Wess,Herman Egberink,Katrin Hartmann +7 more
TL;DR: Although specificity of the test in effusions was high, one false positive result occurred, and the use of serum/plasma cannot be recommended due to a low viral load in blood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation into the utility of an immunocytochemical assay in body cavity effusions for diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis
TL;DR: The diagnostic utility of this test proved to be insufficient and positive ICC results should be interpreted with caution, and ICC of effusion samples currently cannot be recommended to confirm a suspicion of FIP.
