Cammarata Using direct immunofluorescence to detect coronaviruses in peritoneal in peritoneal and pleural effusions 2008-04-10 .txt text/plain 2388 130 45 Twenty‐one cases of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) were diagnosed using a direct immunofluorescence test on cytocentrifuged pleural and peritoneal effusions from cats sampled in vivo (11 cases) and at necropsy (10 cases). In the remaining 2 1 cats, the clinical diagnosis of FIP was confirmed by pathological and histological findings and was also confirmed in 10 of these cases by a positive DIF test carried out on cryostatic sections of affected organs. A marked disagreement between the result from the DIF test on ascitic fluid and the final FIP diagnosis was found in only one case (case 11; Table 1) which at the age of four months showed clinical signs of thoracic effusions with fever. The cases where pathological entities different to FIP were identified and where the DIF test had never been positive on either the samples of the effusions or the cryostatic sections of affected organs were useful negative controls. ./cache/cord-023121-hewbl5yu.txt ./txt/cord-023121-hewbl5yu.txt
