Sabervet Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus Antibody Rapid Test

Product overview

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease caused by certain mutant strains of feline coronavirus (FCoV).The pathology of FIP can be characterized according to its two main forms- -wet (exudative type) and dry (non-exudative type) Wet FIP (exudative type) Wet FIP is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in body cavities, usually in the abdominal and thoracic cavities.

These effusions are usually: Yellow to clear fluid that may be viscous. High protein content (total protein concentration usually greater than 3.5 g/dL). Low cellular content, with neutrophils and macrophages predominating. Pathologic features Vasculitis: wet FIP often presents with perivascular inflammation called necrotizing vasculitis.

The walls of the blood vessels are eroded, leading to accumulation of exudate. Plasma membrane inflammation: the peritoneum, pleura, and pericardium often show inflammation in the form of fibrin deposition and inflammatory cell infiltration.

Dry FIP (non-exudative type) Dry FIP is characterized by granulomatous lesions of multiple tissues and organs rather than body cavity fluid collection.

These granulomas are found primarily in: Liver, kidneys, lymph nodes, spleen, CNS Pathologic features Granulomas and nodules: granulomatous lesions formed by macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells, commonly found in the above organs.
