A clinical and pathological study 1992-11-30 .txt text/plain 4861 288 48 It has been argued that the syndrome may include several aetiologically unrelated conditions affecting the central nervous system of cats, e.g. toxoplasmosis (Hirth and Nielsen, 1969) and the cerebral form of feline infectious peritonitis (Slauson and Finn, 1972; Kornegay, 1978) . Histopathological examination revealed throughout the central nervous system a non-suppurative inflammation characterized by perivascular mononuclear cuffing, presence of inflammatory nodules and neuronal degeneration in all cats. Neuropathological examination of the cats of the present study showed a marked inflammatory reaction in the cerebral leptomeninges as well as in the grey matter of the brain and spinal cord. Neither the serological results nor the clinical and histopathological findings in the cats with staggering disease indicate a FeLV infection. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) has emerged as an important cause of neurological disease in cats (Dow, Poss and Hoover, 1990; Sparger, 1991) , often in association with clinical syndromes typical of an immunodeficient state (chronic stomatitis, enteritis, dermatitis, etc). ./cache/cord-264794-bgygebgx.txt ./txt/cord-264794-bgygebgx.txt
