    Author: Gupta V, Gupta A, Bambery P, Radotra BD, Pandav SS.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 2001 Mar; 49(1):53-5. PubMed ID: 15887718.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH), Syndrome wherein the patient developed ocular symptoms following injury-induced progressive vitiligo with immunologic evidence from the skin biopsy specimen of the vitiligo. This case supports the hypothesis that the cell-mediated immune process against a common melanocyte antigen plays an important role in the development and progression of the disease.
