Significant pleural and pericardial effusions prompted thoracocentesis and pericardiocentesis. Cytologic evaluation of the pericardial effusion revealed a highly cellular hemorrhagic, eosinophilic (12%) effusion, with many markedly atypical suspected mesothelial cells, interpreted as concerning for neoplasia. Thoracoscopic subtotal pericardiectomy and histology of the pericardium revealed predominantly eosinophilic inflammation with multifocal mesothelial hypertrophy and ulceration. A peripheral eosinophilia was not present on serial complete blood counts. Initial infectious disease testing was mostly negative. Toxoplasma gondii titers were most consistent with prior exposure, although reactivation could not be excluded. The owner’s medical history included a prior diagnosis of bartonellosis. Owing to the challenges of definitive Bartonella species exclusion, the cat was treated empirically with pradofloxacin and doxycycline, and a subtotal pericardectomy. There was improvement at first but pleural effusion recurred approximately 3 months after discharge. The cat was euthanized and a necropsy was not performed. Subsequent pericardial effusion Piroplasma/Bartonella/Borrelia droplet digital PCR detected DNA of Bartonella vinsonii subspecies berkhoffii, and peripheral blood culture and sequencing revealed a rare apicomplexan organism (90% homology with Colpodella species) of unknown clinical significance. Testing for filamentous bacteria and fungal pathogens was not performed. }, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF FELINE MEDICINE AND SURGERY OPEN REPORTS}, author={Wheatley, Meagan Alisa and Shamoun, John and Maggi, Ricardo and Breitschwerdt, Edward B. and Sommer, Samantha L. and Cullen, John M. and Stowe, Devorah Marks}, year={2023}, month={Jul} } @article{wheatley_stowe_2022, title={Incidental immitis; a microfilaria medley}, volume={51}, ISSN={0275-6382 1939-165X}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/vcp.13121}, DOI={10.1111/vcp.13121}, abstractNote={Veterinary Clinical PathologyVolume 51, Issue 1 p. 6-7 YESTERDAY • TODAY • TOMORROW Incidental immitis; a microfilaria medley Meagan A.
