Pathogenesis of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) – the infection of the monocyte

The key event in the development of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is the infection of the monocyte (a white blood cell) by feline coronavirus (FCoV). From the moment of infection of the monocyte, the cat’s fate hangs on whether or not that monocyte can contain the virus and eventually defeat it, or whether the virus wins, and begins replicating within the monocyte. In this animation, we depict the latter. We show how the virus hijacks the immune system, leading to an inflammatory sequence of events which results in a pyogranuloma forming around a blood vessel. In the film we show the development of acute FIP, where there is a lot of virus, many blood vessels affected, and the resulting leakage from damaged blood vessels causes the clinical signs of effusive FIP — ascites, thoracic effusion, pericardial effusion. In non-effusive FIP the course is more chronic: fewer blood vessels are affected, the cat’s immune system tries harder to contain the infection, leading to larger pyogranulomata and the clinical signs of chronic inflammation and relating to the organ(s) containing the pyogranulomas.

Does Pancho have non-effusive Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)?

Pancho was a 5 year old domestic shorthair cat who was referred to Dr Diane D. Addie as a cat already being treated for FIP. His referring veterinary surgeon wanted to know if there was a better treatment than just prednisolone that he could be given to extend his life. Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is one of the main infectious causes of death in the cat, especially affecting purebred cats and cats in rescue environments — anywhere a lot of cats are kept indoors. No matter what any laboratory or manufacturer of test kits claims, there is no single test for FIP — diagnosis is a challenge to even the most competent veterinary clinician and involves following a series of steps on an algorithm (free to download from www.catvirus.com). FIP can present as effusive (wet) or non-effusive (dry). This film is a case report of a suspect non-effusive case, taking the viewer step by step through the FIP diagnostic algorithm. The free FIP diagnostic algorithm and worksheet can be downloaded at: www.dr-addie.com/downloads.html I apologise for the poor sound on this video — I’m afraid I haven’t quite mastered that technical aspect yet. I am very grateful to Pancho himself, and to his guardian Danièlle Merian, for allowing their story to help others. I am grateful to French veterinary osteopath, Véronique Zenoni (www.verozeno.vetosteo.eu), for involving me in this case. I thank Dr Benedetta Giannini of Almo Nature for sponsoring this case report and for translating the catvirus …
