A 1.6-year-old male domestic short hair cat was brought to
the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Kasetsart
University, with signs of severe anemia, depression, and
general lymph node enlargement. Complete blood count
revealed leukocytosis and massive undifferentiated blasts.
Testing for antibodies specific to feline leukemia virus
(FeLV) was positive, and FeLV nucleic acid was confirmed
by nested polymerase chain reaction. Base on cytochemistry
and ultrastructure, the cat was diagnosed with acute monoblastic
leukemia.
