Corneal ulcers in cats (ulcerative keratitis) are a common presenting complaint, and are a frequent sequela to feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) infection. In fact, it is fair to assume an FHV-1 aetiology until proven otherwise. In practice, therefore, many cases of corneal ulceration can be treated medically, but treatment can frequently be challenging, with the need to tailor therapy carefully to the type of ulcer, the individual cat and its temperament.
All age groups and breeds can suffer with ulcerative keratitis although some breeds are over-represented for some types of corneal ulceration.
The scientific literature on feline ulcerative keratitis is extensive, particularly that related to FHV-1 infection. This article reviews the medical treatment options for corneal ulceration in cats with reference to the current evidence base.
猫角膜溃疡(溃疡性角膜炎)是常见的就诊主诉,是猫疱疹病毒(FHV-1)感染常见的后遗症。事实上,在排除其他病因之前,假定由FHV-1引起是合理的。因此,在实际中,许多角膜溃疡病例可以通过药物治疗,但治疗通常具有挑战性,需要根据溃疡类型、个体猫及其性情仔细调整治疗方案。
所有年龄组和品种的猫都可能患溃疡性角膜炎,尽管某些品种在某些类型的角膜溃疡中占比过高。
关于猫溃疡性角膜炎的科学文献很多,尤其是与FHV-1感染相关的文献。本文参考当前的证据基础,综述了猫角膜溃疡的药物治疗选择。
