Abstract

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is a rare entity characterized by depigmentation of the skin and eye lashes, chronic granulomatous iridocyclitis and exudative retinal detachment, as well as aseptic meningitis and encephalopathy. We describe a 22-year-old male intravenous drug addict, infected with hepatitis B and C virus, suffering from this syndrome, associated with progressive renal sclerosis, malignant hypertension, heart failure and chronic myeloproliferative disorder. The association with these various diseases is discussed and relevant cases are reviewed.
