Abstract. Purpose:To report systemic corticosteroid therapy for Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease(Harada disease)in a case under hemodialysis. Case:A 69-year-old female presented with impaired vision in both eyes since 10 days before. She had had systemic hypertension since 19 years before and been receiving hemodialygis for renal failure since 13 years before. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 0.4 right and 0.6 left. Both eyes showed serous retinal detachment and disc swelling. The anterior ocular segment showed little signs of inflammation. She was diagnosed with Harada disease. Fluorescein angiography gave compatible findings. After consultation with the department of urology, she started receiving pulsed corticosteroid therapy, consisting of 1000 mg methylprednisolone for 3 consecutive days repeated thrice followed by peroral prednisolone in tapering dosis. Retinal detachment disappeared with visual acuity improving to 0.8 right and 1.0 left. Conclusion:Systemic corticosteroid was safe and effective for Harada disease in a case under hemodialysis.
