Abstract :
Introduction: Coronavirus infection is one of the most prevalent viral diseases worldwide, and its rapid and accurate diagnosis is highly challenging. Various diagnostic techniques have been developed, but they come with limitations. However, evaluating the results of multiple diagnostic methods alongside clinical symptoms can provide a more accurate and reliable diagnosis.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the Bioresonance method and the use of specific oscillatory frequency (SMF) in comparison with conventional diagnostic methods (serum protein electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) for the diagnosis of coronavirus in cats suspected of having Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).
Methods: Blood samples were collected from 30 clinically suspected FIP-infected cats. For each sample, PCR and SMF tests were performed. Sensitivity, specificity, and agreement between tests were calculated using the gold standard (a combination of PCR and Bioresonance results) and the kappa coefficient method.
Results: The sensitivity and specificity of PCR and SMF for FIP diagnosis were 70.6% and 72.7% for PCR and 100% and 81% for SMF, respectively.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, SMF showed higher sensitivity and specificity compared to other diagnostic methods and can be considered an effective and reliable tool for FIP diagnosis.
