In 90 cats with naturally occurring feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection, the clinicopathologic changes seen at the time of first diagnosis of FIV infection included lymphopenia (29%), neutrophilia (27%), monocytosis (23%), anemia (18%), leukocytosis (13%), leukopenia (13%), neutropenia (11%), hyperproteinemia (38%), and hyperglobulinemia (25%). Forty-nine (54%) of the cats showed multiple hematologic abnormalities, and a further 24 (17%) had a single abnormality. The most consistent changes in serum protein electrophoretic patterns were increases in the concentrations of alpha 2 globulin and gammaglobulin subfractions. Although there is no established system for staging the degree of immunosuppression in cats infected with FIV, cytopenias appeared to be more common in cats with advanced clinical signs of disease.
