TY - JOUR T1 - Comparison of hemogram, amylase and lipase values in cats with feline panleukopenia disease and healthy cats TT - Comparison of hemogram, amylase and lipase values in cats with feline panleukopenia disease and healthy cats AU - Koçkaya, Mustafa AU - Çelik, Bensu Cemre PY - 2024 DA - December Y2 - 2024 JF - Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences JO - J Ist Vet Sci PB - The Chamber of Veterinary Surgeons, Istanbul WT - DergiPark SN - 2602-3490 SP - 294 EP - 298 VL - 8 IS - 3 LA - en AB - Feline panleukopenia (FPV), commonly known as the feline distemper virus, is a type of DNA virus. Known for its high transmissibility, FPV primarily affects young cats, particularly targeting the bone marrow, intestines, and lymphatic system. Without treatment, it can be fatal. The aim of this study is to compare the hemogram parameters of an infected cat with those of a healthy cat, and to facilitate diagnosis and prognosis by also comparing amylase and lipase levels. In the study, 30 cats were evaluated and divided into two groups: the control group and the patient group. The patient group consisted of 15 cats that tested positive for FPV using a rapid antigen test, while the control group consisted of 15 cats that tested negative for the antigen and showed no clinical symptoms. In the study, white blood cell, lymphocyte, neutrophil, neutrophil, monocyte, eosinophil, red blood cell and platelet counts, haematocrit and haemoglobin values were found lower in sick cats (p 0.05). Amylase and lipase values of sick cats were found to be higher than healthy cats (p 0,05). According to the study's results, white blood cell count, neutrophil, monocyte, lymphocyte counts, and platelet count were found to be highly reliable parameters for diagnosing fpv infection.
