| tuberculous peritonitis | <radiology> Aetiology: haematogenous spread, rupture of mesenteric node, Types: wet: exudative ascites, dry: tuberculous adenopathy and adhesions, fibrotic: abdominal mass with separation and fixation of bowel, CT: high density ascites (30 HU), peripancreatic and mesenteric adenopathy with low density, centres (caseous necrosis), irregular soft tissue density of omemtum, ** tuberculosis: gastrointestinal manifestations (12 Dec 1998) |
| feline infectious peritonitis | Common coronavirus infection of cats caused by the feline infectious peritonitis virus (infectious peritonitis virus, feline). The disease is characterised by a long incubation period, fever, depression, loss of appetite, wasting, and progressive abdominal enlargement. Infection of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage appears to be essential in fip pathogenesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
