Correlations between clinical signs and corneal cytology in feline eosinophilic keratoconjunctivitis.

Large variability was detected in the cytological characteristics and clinical features of FEK-affected cats. This is the first report of globule leukocytes being identified in ocular cytology from any species. The role of globule leukocytes in the etiopathogenesis and progression of FEK remains unknown and warrants further investigation.
