Inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid analysis in cats: clinical diagnosis and outcome 2005-03-09 .txt text/plain 6930 400 53 The purpose of this study was to determine if signalment, clinical signs, CSF analysis, additional clinicopathological data and diagnostic imaging could be used to determine the specific aetiology of the CNS disease in cats with inflammatory CSF. Based on the results, clinical information, clinical pathology and ancillary testing procedures the following classifications of disease could be made: 1, feline infectious peritonitis (FIP); 2, Cryptococcus species infection; 3, Toxoplasma species infection; 4, other meningoencephalitis; 5, thiamine deficiency; 6, lymphoma; 7, other neoplasia; 8, trauma; 9, intervertebral disc disease; 10, spinal cord granuloma and 11, undiagnosed (Table 2) . A presumptive diagnosis of FIP was made based on age, a suppurative or mixed inflammatory CSF, poor response to treatment, elevated serum or body cavity effusion FeCoV antibody titre or a reduced albumin:globulin ratio (!0.5) of serum or body cavity effusions. A presumptive diagnosis was made based on a mild suppurative-mixed CSF inflammation, normal-mildly increased CSF protein levels and positive IgG antibody titre. ./cache/cord-271011-5stsx5je.txt ./txt/cord-271011-5stsx5je.txt
