Uveitis is one of the most common and clinically important ophthalmic disorders in domestic cats (see Chapter 250). Uveitis in cats has been associated with trauma, primary or metastatic neoplasia, abnormalities of the lens, infectious agents, and idiopathic causes. In a retrospective histopathologic study of 158 eviscerated or enucleated feline globes, idiopathic lymphocytic-plasmacytic uveitis was found to be the most common type of uveitis (Peiffer and Wilcock, 1991). Infectious agents that have been associated with feline uveitis include Toxoplasma gondii, feline immunodeficiency virus, feline leukemia virus, feline infectious peritonitis virus, and fungi causing systemic infections (Blastomyces dermatitidis, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Histoplasma capsulatum).
