“…The histopathologic features were the loss of pigment and a mononuclear cell infiltration around the blood vessels. The predominant cell type was lymphoid, as shown in vitiligo of V-K-H disease by previous investigators (Hague 1944, Johnson 1963, Howsden et al 1973, Igarashi & Matsuda 1976, Nordlund et al 1980, Sugiura 1978. However, the severity of the lymphoid cell infiltration was less than ours.…”

Vitiligo with an inflammatory erythema in Vogt‐Koyanagi‐Harada disease: demonstration of filamentous masses and amyloid deposits

A 35-year-old Japanese woman developed vitiligo with an inflammatory erythema on the face two years after the onset of bilateral uveitis and dysacusis. Histological studies of the lesions revealed the loss of pigment and dense mononuclear cell infiltration around the blood vessels. At the dermo-epidermal junction area, a few eosinophilic masses were found. Electron microscopy disclosed that the masses were filamentous masses (colloid bodies) and amyloid. After the oral administration of prednisolone, the erythema subsided, and the vitiligo showed some repigmentation.

“…This prompted us to regard the spiking fever as a prodromal symptom in the present case. Alopecia and vitiligo rarely precede the eye onset (7). Vitiligo of VKH syndrome usually shows well-defined, completely depigmented patches (5).…”

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada's syndrome has been known as an autoimmune disease which affects the melanocyte-containing tissues. We report a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada's syndrome associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. IgM-class antibodies against nevus cells were detected in the patient's serum by indirect immunofluorescence test. These clinical and laboratory findings support the autoimmune theory of this rare syndrome.

“…According to J ohnson [13], vitiligo has been reported to occur even 5 years before, and up to 3 years after, the eye symptoms. In B enett's case [14], only 6 years after the onset of uveitis, the poliosis and alopecia appeared.…”
