Lymphoma was diagnosed in a 7-year-old domestic cat found to be infected with FeLV and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). The cat was affected by chronic disorders suggestive of immunosuppression, including gingivitis, periodontitis, keratitis, and abscesses. Despite treatment, peripheral keratitis of the left eye progressed, resulting in uveitis, chronic glaucoma, and eventual corneal rupture. Microscopic retinal and optic disk pathologic processes also were suspected. Abnormal jaw movements that were believed to be indicative of neurologic disease were observed. Approximately 17 months later, the cat developed generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and bilateral renomegaly. Lymphoblastic lymphoma and glomerulonephritis were diagnosed histologically. Manganese- and magnesium-dependent reverse transcriptase activity were detected in supernatants from lymph node and spleen mononuclear cell cultures, suggesting T-lymphocyte infection with FeLV and FIV.

During 1997 and 1998 261 patients suffering from suspected focal diseases were investigated for the presence of persisting chronic inflammatory disorders in the oral cavity. In 83% of the patients pulp necrosis, chronic inflammation of the apical area and the periodontal tissues could be revelated. The most commonly diagnosed disorders were pulp necrosis, chronic apical periodontitis and periodontitis complicata respectively. Most frequently these diseases could be detected in chronic cardiac disorders, uveitis and dermatological diseases. In the future follow-up studies parallel with the elimination of the dental disorders monitoring of blood and serum parameters will be conducted in order to obtain data of th systemic effect of the persisting chronic dental diseases.
