Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and HLA type in Italian patients
No full textPURPOSE: To study the frequencies of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) specificities in Italian patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and to correlate the presence of each specificity to the clinical features. METHODS: Human leukocyte antigen specificities were determined by standard microlymphocyto-toxicity assay in 16 patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and compared with HLA specificities of 116 healthy controls, RESULTS: HLA-DR4 was statistically related to Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (P = .0063), whereas only a trend toward a significant association between the disease and HLA-B41 was found (P = .06). HLA-DQ1 was detected in a disproportionate number of controls (68.9%) compared with patients (31.5%). CONCLUSIONS: HLA-DR4 was significantly related to Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease in Caucasian European patients, specifically in Italian patients, as it was described in other racial groups. No clear relation was found between the ophthalmologic and systemic manifestations of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and the presence of HLA specificities
Uveo-Meningeal Syndromes: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) Disease
No full textOcular inflammatory symptoms with concurrent neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations can be diagnostically challenging. We provide a general overview of uveo-meningeal syndromes, which comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders that involve inflammation of the uveal tract, retina, and meninges. The presentation focuses on the uveomeningeal syndrome of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) Disease by providing a comprehensive overview of diagnostic criteria, pathogenesis, clinical course, and management. To demonstrate the heterogeneous clinical presentations and possible neuro-ophthalmological manifestations that can challenge diagnosis, we chronicle three cases of VKH seen at our institution and highlight the diagnostic work-up, management, and outcomes. This presentation summarizes a practical strategy for approaching the clinical heterogeneity of VKH.[1] Brazis PW, Stewart M, Lee A. The Uveo-Meningeal Syndromes.

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome: evaluation of the disease phase in which patients receive the first specialized attendance
No full textAbstract Objective: To evaluate in which phase of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome the patients receive the first attendance in specialized service. Methods: A retrospective study was conduted to evaluate medical records of 14 patients with VKH in the Clementino Fraga Filho University Hospital of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro from January 2014 to March 2017. In this analysis, gender, age, stage of disease and visual acuity of these patients with at least probable VKH were recorded. Results: Of these patients, 78.5% were female and 21.5% male and the median age was 34 years. We observed that 35.4% of the patients had the disease still in the uveitic phase and that 78.5% of these patients had visual acuity equal to or worse than 0.05. Conclusion: There is a delay in the admission of these patients to a specialized sector, thus affecting directly the treatment and visual prognosis.</p
