===Diagnostic Imaging===

Radiographs of the thorax and abdomen may show a mixed pattern of patchy alveolar and interstitial pulmonary infiltrates, pleural and abdominal effusions, and hepatomegaly³.

Radiographs of the thorax in pulmonic toxoplasmosis commonly show patchy alveolar and interstitial pulmonary patterns, but pleural effusions are rare¹. Abdominal radiographs can show a variety of changes, including hepatomegaly, pertitoneal effusions, lymphadenopathy, intestinal masses, or pancreatitis (seen as reduced contrast in the right cranial quadrant)^1,3. Myelography, CT or MRI can detect mass lesions in cats with CNS involvement.

 

pleural effusion is rarely detected. Abdominal radiographic

findings are non-specific but can include a

homogeneous increase in density due to peritoneal effusion,

hepatomegaly, lymphadenopathy, intestinal masses,

or loss of contrast in the cranial right quadrant of the

abdomen due to pancreatitis. In cats with CNS involvement,

computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
