Abstract
The Vogt—Koyanagi—Harada syndrome (VKH) is characterized by bilateral uveitis with serous detachments and signs of systemic disease, including skin disorders (alopecia, poliosis), hearing problems (loss of hearing, dizziness) and signs of meningeal irritation1,2. The aetiology of the disease is still not known although recent findings point to an autoimmune reaction against melanocytes3.
