Disease information

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) is a multisystem disease having autoimmune causes that affect melanin-pigmented tissues, sometimes called Harada syndrome or uveomeningitis syndrome. The most noticeable symptom is a rapid loss of vision, which may also manifest neurological signs, loss of hearing, loss of hair, and ski color changes. Its sequence of symptoms and manifestations can be divided into four phases - prodromal, acute uveitic, convalescent, and chronic recurrent. Some may be caused by a viral infection, but the exact causes are not known yet.
