Hemostatic disorders in feline immunodeficiency virus-seropositive cats.

摘要: The hemostatic function of 40 feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) seropositive and 8 FIV leukemia (FeLV) cats was evaluated compared with reference values from 30 clinically healthy cats. FIV-positive were divided into 3 groups: group I included asymptomatic carriers; II comprised sick FIV-infected illnesses not likely to influence the system; III diseases potentially associated coagulopathies. Platelet counts in FIV/FeLV-infected significantly lower than (P < .003), whereas differences groups variable (group I, P = .009; II, .05; III, .09). Thrombocytopenia (< 145,000 platelets/microL) present 4 FIV/FeLV-positive aggregation induced by collagen (0.5 0.25 micrograms/mL), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (1 0.6 mumol/L), thrombin (0.4 IU/mL) different that plasma coagulation system measuring one-stage prothrombin time (OSPT), activated partial thromboplastin (APTT), time, fibrinogen concentration, factor assays, fibrin degradation products (FDP), exchange test. OSPT similar FIV-seropositive control group. Cats infection, however, had markedly shorter clotting times when using a modified test .05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
