Abstract

Purpose: This study describes the ocular findings in dogs and cats diagnosed with Florida spot keratopathy (FSK) at a single institution.

Methods: Affected animals underwent a single comprehensive ophthalmic examination, with no follow-ups conducted. Data on patient demographics and clinical findings were collected and analyzed.

Results: Based on the presence of round, white, fluorescein negative anterior stromal lesions, FSK was diagnosed in 84 dogs and 16 cats, with mean ± SD ages of 6.5 ± 3.7 and 5.9 ± 4.6 years, respectively. FSK was the presenting complaint in 18% of dogs and 12.5% of cats. Most patients had unilateral lesions, with 57% of dog eyes and 55% of cat eyes having more than three lesions per eye. Lesions varied in size (0.5-7.6 mm in dogs, pinpoint to 5 mm in cats) and were predominantly located in the central cornea of dogs, while scattered throughout the cornea of cats. Progression was reported in just 4% of dogs and 6% of cats, while transient irritation was reported in 18% of dogs and 12.5% of cats. Owners reported the presence of little fire ants (LFA) in the vicinity of 21% of dogs and 38% of cats.

Conclusions: FSK should be considered a differential diagnosis for transient ocular irritation in dogs and cats, with most lesions being non-progressive. While an association with LFA has been suggested in both animals and humans, this link remains speculative and has not been confirmed by rigorous academic research.

犬猫佛罗里达斑角膜病临床表现100例(2021-2024)
目的:本研究描述了在单一机构诊断为佛罗里达斑角膜病(FSK)的狗和猫的眼部发现。方法:患病动物进行单一的全面眼科检查,未进行随访。收集和分析患者人口统计学数据和临床表现。结果:基于圆形、白色、荧光素阴性的前基质病变,84只狗和16只猫被诊断为FSK,平均±SD年龄分别为6.5±3.7岁和5.9±4.6岁。FSK是18%的狗和12.5%的猫的主诉。大多数患者有单侧病变,57%的狗眼睛和55%的猫眼睛每只眼睛有三个以上的病变。病变大小不一(狗为0.5-7.6 mm,猫为5 mm),主要位于狗的中央角膜,而猫的角膜分散。只有4%的狗和6%的猫报告了病情进展,而18%的狗和12.5%的猫报告了短暂的刺激。主人报告说,21%的狗和38%的猫附近有小火蚁(LFA)。结论:FSK应被视为犬和猫短暂性眼部刺激的鉴别诊断,大多数病变是非进行性的。虽然在动物和人类中都提出了与LFA的联系,但这种联系仍然是推测性的,尚未得到严格的学术研究的证实。
