Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease: A Comprehensive Review of Immunopathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Management DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.16291601 ABSTRACT This podcast offers a comprehensive review of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease, a rare autoimmune disorder primarily affecting the eyes but also impacting the brain, inner ear, and skin. It delves into the immunopathogenesis, explaining how the immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes, the cells responsible for pigment. The text also outlines the diagnostic criteria and the four distinct clinical stages of VKH, from early flu-like symptoms to vision loss and skin depigmentation. Crucially, it details the evolving therapeutic strategies, emphasizing the importance of early, aggressive, and sustained immunosuppression to prevent irreversible complications, and discusses the management of common vision-threatening issues like glaucoma and cataracts.
