Sensitivity and specificity from a study evaluating immunostaining for the detection of feline coronavirus (FCoV) antigen in aqueous humor samples. Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) was confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) of tissue samples. The control group consisted of cats with diseases other than FIP with clinical signs (with or without uveitis) consistent with FIP.
Study | Number of Samples | Assay | Sensitivity | Specificity | Reference Standard for FIP | Control Cats |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
[132] | FIP (n = 26) Controls (n = 12) |
ICC | 64% | 82% | Histopathology/IHC | Diseases other than FIP |
ICC = immunocytochemistry.
