Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the significance of acute phase proteins in diagnosing neurologic feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) in cats.
Assess serum levels of α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in three cats suspected of neurologic FIP.
Conduct genetic testing for feline coronavirus in cerebrospinal fluid samples.
Perform antibody tests and MRI scans to confirm diagnosis.
AGP levels were observed at 460, 480, and 410 μg/ml, above normal ranges.
SAA levels were all below 3.0 μg/ml, within normal limits.
No significant changes were noted in other hematological or biochemical parameters.

Implication

Case reports highlight the relevance of protein levels in diagnosing neurologic feline infectious peritonitis in cats.
