Example 4
A recombinant feline o-interferon preparation (Trade Name: INTERCAT) was
administered to a 5-year-old crossbred female cat (sterilized), which was
observed to have neutropenia due to a feline leukemia virus infection.
On the first day of examination, the cat had a weight of 3.25 kg and a body
temperature of 40.7.degree. C., and a complete loss of appetite, a loss of
vigor, and pneumonia were observed. Blood test results were as follows: PCV 37%,
WBC 1,100, neutrophil 22, lymphocyte 836, monocyte 132, eosinophil 88, and
thrombocyte 30,000. In the virus test, both an FeLV antigen and an FIV
antibody were detected.
The INTERCAT was dissolved in a physiological saline solution, and
was subcutaneously injected at a dose of 5 MU/day for four days.
The dose was 1.54 MU/kg per cat weight. A transfusion
(lactate Ringer's solution and glucose) was injected by intravenous drip
infusion at a dose of 500 ml/day, and an antibiotic (cephalexin) was
intravenously injected at a dose of 100 mg twice a day.
Blood test results on the third day were as follows: PCV 36%, WBC 8,400,
neutrophil 3,864, lymphocyte 3,444, monocyte 840, eosinophil 168, and
thrombocyte 30,000.
On the fifth day, the body temperature had decreased to 38.6.degree. C.,
and the blood examination results were as follows: PCV 32%, WBC 7,300,
neutrophil 4,088, lymphocyte 2,920, monocyte 292, eosinophil 0, and thrombocyte
60,000.
On the 10th day, the body temperature was 38.5.degree. C., appetite and
vigor had recovered, and pneumonia was also cured. The cat had a weight of 3.3
kg. Blood test results were as follows: PCV 31%, WBC 11,468, neutrophil 7,568,
lymphocyte 3,325, monocyte 573, eosinophil 0, and thrombocyte 100,000.
On the 18th day, in the virus test, the FeLV antigen was not
detected, the FIV antibody also was not detected. After one year, both the FeLV
antigen and the FIV antibody were not detected.
Take care,
