RESUMO
The Fanconi syndrome is a familial disease in the Basenji. Its typical clinical signs are glycosuria and euglycaemia. In the United States, 10% of the Basenji population shows signs of glycosuria. The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of glycosuria in the Basenji population in The Netherlands. Results showed few dogs to have glycosuria. Furthermore, a hereditary background to Fanconi syndrome in Basenji dogs could not be demonstrated.

A cat was presented with skin lesions consisting of slightly raised pigmented plaques, 2-7 mm in diameter with a rough slightly verrucous surface. Histologically these lesions were identified as papillomas. A papillomavirus infection was demonstrated: virus-like particles were present in the nuclei of cells within the lesions, and staining with an anti-bovine papillomavirus (BPV-1) antibody was obtained. An infection with feline immunodeficiency virus was diagnosed in this cat; this condition had probably enhanced the development of papillomas. This is the first report of a papillomavirus infection in a cat in Europe.
