Abstract: | The occurrence of vitiligo with prodromal erythema in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is rarely observed. We describe a 68-year-old Chinese woman who developed extensive vitiligo 6 months after the onset of a generalized erythroderma and 12 months after the onset of acute bilateral uveitis. She also had a 4-year history of psoriatic plaques on the trunk which resolved completely without recurrence 15 months after the onset of erythroderma. The extensive cutaneous inflammation prior to the onset of vitiligo in our patient with VKH disease has not been reported before and strongly suggests an immunologic etiology for VKH disease. |
