  20. Uveitis • is inflammation of the Uvea Tract, middle section of the eye. • Uvea Tract has three parts: • the Iris (the colored part of the eye) • Ciliary body (behind the iris, accomodation, aqueous humor) • Choroid (the vascular lining tissue underneath the Retina).

  21. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS

  22. Incomplete Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease, Acute uveitic stager/o TB uveitis

  23. DIAGNOSTICS

  24. Laboratories • CBC • Chest X-ray • AFB smear • PPD

  25. CBC

  26. Chest X-ray • Lung fields are clear • The heart is not enlarged • Both hemidiaphragm and costophrenic sulci are intact • Impression: No significant chest findings

  27. AFB Stain • No Acid Fast Bacilli seen in 300 oil immersion fields on both routine and concentration methods

  30. Course in the Wards • On the 3rd Hospital day: • PPD test was started • On the 4th Hospital day • Methylprednisolone 1g/kg to run for 1 hour for 3 days.

  31. Course in the wards • On the 5th hospital day, visual acuity of the patient improved: • (-) Hyperemia of the Conjunctiva • (-) PPD test • Patient was given 2nd dosage of Methylprednisolone 1mg/kg/IV to run for 1 hour • CaC03 + Vit D 1 tab OD was started

  32. Course in the wards • On the 6th hospital day • Patient received last dose of Methylprednisolone 1mg/kg/IV to run for 1 hour.

  33. Course in the wards • 7th hospital day • Prednisone 20mg/tab 1 tab OD was started

  34. Course in the wards • 8th hospital day • Indirect Fundoscopy: Decrease in macular edema, decrease in vitreous cell and optic nerve hyperemia • Patient was discharged

  35. DISCUSSION VOGT-KOYANAGI-HARADA DISEASE

  36. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease • Inflammatory condition of autoimmune nature in which cytotoxic T cell target melanocytes (eyes, inner ears, skin) • Described by Persian Physician (Ali-ibn-Isa 940-1010 AD) –Poliosis + eye inflammation • 1932- Combined disorders described by Vogt, Koyanagi and Harada manifestations were under the same disease process New insights into Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2009;72(3):413-20

  37. Epidemiology • Predilection for more darkly pigmented races: Asians, Hispanics, American Indians • 6.8-9.2% of all Uveitis referrals in Japan

  38. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada diseaseClassification • International Nomenclature Committee Revised Diagnostic Criteria • Classification: • Complete VKH disease • Incomplete VKH disease • Probable VKH disease New insights into Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2009;72(3):413-20

  39. Applicability of the 2001 revised diagnostic criteria in Brazilian Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease patients Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2008;71(1):67-70

  40. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada diseaseStages • Prodromal stage • Acute uveitic stage • Convalescent stage • Chronic recurrent stage

  41. Stages

  42. Pathophysiology Vogt-Koyonagi-Harada Disease

  43. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada diseaseAutoimmunity Against Melanocytes • Clinical features of choroidal and skin depigmentation • Transmission electron microscopy (early stage): close contact between melanocytes and lymphocytes in the uvea • Histopathology (end stage): disappearance of choroidal melanocytes, and • Immunohistochemistry (end stage): T and B lymphocytes in the choroid New insights into Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2009;72(3):413-20

  44. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada diseaseAutoimmunity Against Melanocytes • Role of CD4+ T cells • Cytotoxic leukocytes against melanoma cells in peripheral blood and CSF • Cytotoxic CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes against human melanocytes are present in the peripheral blood. • Activated CD4+ T cells in depigmented skin and melanin-laden macrophages d in CSF New insights into Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2009;72(3):413-20

  45. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada diseaseAutoimmunity Against Melanocytes • Immunogenetics • HLA-DR4/DR53 • secondary association with HLA-DR1 involving a shared sequence linked to susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis. • HLA-DRB1*0405 New insights into Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2009;72(3):413-20

  46. Pathophysiology

  47. Clinical findings in acute phase of VKH Figure 1 - A & B: Fundus pictures of both eyes show disc hyperemia, white-yellowish choroidal lesions, and localized exudative retinal detachments; C & D: Fluorescein angiographies of both eyes show pin-point hyperfluorescence and dye pooling corresponding to areas of retinal detachments; E & F: Indocyanine green angiographies show areas of diffuse hyperfluorescence, dark spot, and “hot-spots” New insights into Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2009;72(3):413-20

  48. Clinical findings in chronic phase of VKH Figure 2 – A & B: Fundus pictures of both eyes show diffuse retinal depigmentation and peripapillary fibrosis; C & D: Fluorescein angiographies of both eyes show diffuse window retinal pigment epithelium defects; E & F: Indocyanine green angiographies show dark spots and diffuse late hyperfluorescence suggestive of disease activity New insights into Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2009;72(3):413-20

  49. Treatment- Corticosteroids For most patients with bilateral serous detachments and severe visual loss, begin therapy with systemic prednisone Severe Cases • use intravenous methylprednisolone (up to 1 g/d) for several days before beginning oral prednisone (1 mg/kg/d) Corticosteroids • anti-inflammatory properties and modify the body's immune response to diverse stimuli • the length of treatment and subsequent taper must be individualized for each patient

  50. Treatment- Systemic Corticosteroids Prednisone • Decrease inflammation • reversing increased capillary permeability and suppressing PMN activity • DOSE • 1-1.5 mg/kg/d PO qd initially • Severe cases with profound loss of vision and bilateral serous detachments may require up to 2 mg/kg/d • length of treatment and tapering individualized for each patient • not be less than 3 mo to avoid recurrence • CI: hypersensitivity; viral infection; peptic ulcer disease; hepatic dysfunction; connective tissue infections; fungal or tubercular skin infections; GI disease
