  • Title: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome: Association with alopecia areata.
    Author: Haque WM, Mir MR, Hsu S.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2009 Dec 15; 15(12):10. PubMed ID: 20040260.
    Abstract:
    Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is an inflammatory condition characterized by bilateral uveitis, vitiligo, poliosis, alopecia, and dysacousia. The syndrome results from a T cell mediated autoimmune attack on melanocytes in genetically susceptible individuals. We present a case of VKH syndrome and propose that the alopecia and poliosis described in the original reports by ophthalmologists could instead be alopecia areata with re-growth of white hair.
