FIP: Long-Term Results Confirm the Power of Quantitative PCR
A recent study by Zwicklbauer et al (2023) followed 18 cats in complete remission after treatment for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) with oral GS-441524.
The study revealed the following outcomes:
➜ Complete clinical and virological remission in blood by week 24.
➜ Persistent digestive viral shedding in some cats, despite the absence of clinical symptoms.
These findings highlight crucial points: quantitative RT-qPCR remains the most accurate method for detecting the virus in the absence of clinical manifestations, confirming infection along with quantitative data, essential for informed clinical decision making.
