Abstract. Purpose:To report a case Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada(VKH)disease that developed during systemic interferon therapy. Case:A 49-year-old female presented with blurring of vision in both eyes. She had received blood transfusion during pregnancy in the past. She was found positive for hepatitis C virus 5 years before. She started receiving interferon alpha 11 weeks before for impaired liver function. Blurring of vision developed 3 weeks before. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 0.2 in either eye. Both eyes showed swelling of optic disc and serous detachment in the posterior fundus. Fluorescein angiography showed findings compatible with VKH disease. Further fluorescein angiography was contraindicated due to side effects. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)showed shallow anterior chamber in both eyes. She received corticosteroid pulse therapy after discontinuation of interferon. OCT showed deepening of anterior chamber and disappearance of retinal detachment. Visual acuity improved to 1.2 in either eye after 6 weeks of treatment. Conclusion:This case illustrates that VKH disease may develop during systemic interferon therapy. OCT of the fundus and anterior segment was useful in the evaluation of the disease.
