Immunoglobulin A myeloma, serum hyperviscosity, and septic pleuritis were diagnosed in a cat with pleural and peritoneal effusions. Serum hyperviscosity was determined by use of a WBC pipette, and clinical manifestations included retinopathy and cardiac changes. The presence of Salmonella typhimurium in the pleural fluid may have resulted from increased susceptibility to infection. Postmortem examination revealed plasma cell infiltration of the pleura, mesenteric lymph nodes, and the serosa of the intestine, liver, and spleen. This case represents an unusual form of myeloma in the cat.
一只患有胸腔和腹腔积液的猫被诊断出患有免疫球蛋白A骨髓瘤、血清高粘度和脓毒性胸膜炎。血清高粘度通过白细胞吸管测定，临床表现包括视网膜病变和心脏变化。胸腔积液中存在鼠伤寒沙门氏菌可能是由于感染易感性增加所致。尸检显示胸膜、肠系膜淋巴结以及肠、肝和脾的浆膜有浆细胞浸润。该病例代表了猫骨髓瘤的一种不寻常形式。
