  • Title: [A case of syphilitic uveitis simulating Harada disease].
    Author: Fiala W, Schipper I, Kern R.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1987 Jan; 190(1):53-5. PubMed ID: 3573656.
    Abstract:
    On the basis of clinical findings and fluorescein angiography the authors diagnosed Harada's disease in a 30-year-old Caucasian woman. A drastic deterioration occurred under treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. Another cause of the uveitis was looked for and a reactive serology for lues was found in the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid. The severe inflammation was then treated successfully with high doses of penicillin, intravenously administered; visual acuity also improved as a result this treatment. The differential diagnosis of the two conditions is discussed.
