Peritonitis berjangkit kucing
Also known as: FIP
Peritonitis berjangkit kucing (FIP) ialah penyakit imun-mediated yang teruk, berlaku selepas mutasi koronavirus enterik kucing yang biasa kepada bentuk yang lebih ganas. Paling kerap menjejaskan kucing muda dan kucing dalam persekitaran ramai kucing. Bentuk klasik ialah jenis efusif (basah) dengan cecair dalam perut atau dada, dan jenis kering (granulomatosa). Dahulunya hampir selalu membawa maut, FIP kini boleh dirawat dengan terapi antivirus dalam banyak kes.
