Abstract:A citologia conjuntival é um importante método diagnóstico, podendo ser facilmente realizada pelo clínico veterinário. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo o estudo da viabilidade do exame citológico da mucosa conjuntival pelo método de impressão em papel-filtro, assim como estabelecer o padrão normal nos felinos domésticos. Realizou-se o exame citológico da mucosa conjuntival pelo método de impressão em papel-filtro de 30animais da espécie felina, sem utilização da anestesia tópica. As técnicas de coloraçõe… Show more

“…In a study on impression cytology of the feline eye, the FP was digitally pressed to the conjunctiva . In a previous study on impression cytology in the feline eye, it is unclear whether the FP was merely positioned just by adherence forced or pressed upon the conjunctiva . To standardize the applied pressure, Martinez et al .…”

“…Samples obtained by impression cytology exhibit all characteristics of an ideal cytologic sample and provide insight into the intercellular relationship, which may be destroyed by other sampling techniques . Although there are several publications in human ophthalmology on the use of impression cytology, few are published in veterinary ophthalmology …”

“…A wide variety of FPs is available on the market, many of which have been used in several studies by different authors . However, to the authors′ knowledge, there is no study available comparing various FPs in veterinary medicine.…”
The BMD may prove to be a suitable diagnostic tool for clinicians. Sampling is quick, processing is simple, and a large area of intact cells can be harvested.
