Leukoerythroblastosis and normoblastemia in the cat

Abstract

Over a six-month period, 6% of 313 cats evaluated hematologically had either leukoerythroblastosis or normoblastemia. Diseases associated with these hematological conditions included haemobartonellosis, hepatic lipidosis, trauma, viral and bacterial infections, myeloproliferative disorders, and hemangiosarcoma. The finding of leukoerythroblastosis or normoblastemia may aid in diagnosing cats presenting with nonspecific signs.
