Lymphoplasmacytic keratitis in a ferret with lymphoma.
Unilateral lymphoplasmacytic keratitis was believed to be associated with multicentric lymphoma in a ferret. Plasmacytosis (Aleutian disease) should be considered in any ferret with lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of any organ. Ferrets with antibodies to the parvovirus causing plasmacytosis are believed to be more susceptible to concurrent disease because of immunosuppression.
