A three-year-old, spayed female domestic shorthair was evaluated because of recurrent hematuria, dysuria, and pollakiuria of one year's duration. With the exception of hematuria and proteinuria, results of other physical, clinicopathological, radiographic, and microbiologic evaluations were normal. Low concentrations of bovine herpesvirus-4 (BHV-4) antibodies (titer 1:40) were detected by an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). A diagnosis of nonobstructive, idiopathic feline lower urinary tract disease was established by exclusion of other known causes of hematuria and dysuria. Clinical signs resolved in approximately seven days without symptomatic therapy. During the next 69 months, the owners observed five episodes of self-limiting, gross hematuria and pollakiuria. Persistent low titers of BHV-4 antibodies were detected by the IFAT. This case typifies the clinicopathological, radiographic, and microbiologic findings and the natural course characteristics of many cases of nonobstructive, idiopathic feline lower urinary tract disease.
一只3岁已绝育的雌性家猫因持续一年的复发性血尿、排尿困难和尿频前来就诊。除血尿和蛋白尿外，其他体格检查、临床病理检查、影像学检查和微生物学检查结果均正常。通过间接荧光抗体试验（IFAT）检测到低浓度的牛疱疹病毒4型（BHV-4）抗体（滴度1:40）。通过排除其他已知的血尿和排尿困难原因，确诊为非梗阻性特发性猫下泌尿道疾病。未经对症治疗，临床症状在大约7天内缓解。在接下来的69个月里，主人观察到5次自限性肉眼血尿和尿频发作。通过IFAT检测到持续存在低滴度的BHV-4抗体。该病例体现了许多非梗阻性特发性猫下泌尿道疾病病例的临床病理、影像学和微生物学表现以及自然病程特征。
