Infectious peritonitis, a previously undescribed disease entity, was studied in 16 cats. The clinical disease was characterized by fever, ascites, lack of response to therapy, and high mortality. The principal lesion was a diffuse fibrinous peritonitis. The disease was experimentally produced in germ-free and conventional cats. Thus far, no etiologic agent has been demonstrated.
