Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a systemic disease induced by virulent mutant forms of Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) and is a major infectious cause of mortality in young cats. It occurs in cats of all ages but most commonly those under 3 years-of-age.
Nov 15, 2019 · Sensitivity and specificity from different studies evaluating the detection of antibodies in effusion for the diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) compared to histopathology, a combination of tests or a clinical suspicion of FIP.

May 1, 2014 · Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a coronaviral disease that can affect cats of any age, but is most prevalent among cats <3 years of age and especially from 4 to 16 months of age (Pedersen, 2009). FIP occurs commonly in catteries (pedigreed cats), shelters, kitten foster/rescue facilities and dense free-roaming colonies.

Aug 24, 2022 · Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is one of the most important infectious diseases and causes of death in cats; young cats less than 2 years of age are especially vulnerable. FIP is caused by a feline coronavirus (FCoV). It has been estimated that around 0.3% to 1.4% of feline deaths at veterinary institutions are caused by FIP. Scope:
Feb 26, 2018 · Obtaining a definitive diagnosis of FIP based on non-invasive approaches is difficult. Confirmation of the disease relies on finding appropriate cytological or histopathological changes in association with positive immunostaining for FCoV antigen.

On this basis, two main but overlapping clinical forms of FIP are distinguished: effusive FIP (also called wet FIP or nonparenchymatous FIP) and noneffusive FIP (also called dry FIP or parenchymatous FIP).
