Abstract Purpose:To describe the clinical features of patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease(VKH)from the standpoint of clinical types.

Methods:Thirty seven patients initially diagnosed with VKH and treated at Fukuoka University Hospital between 2007 and 2020 were divided into cases of papillitis or serous retinal detachment types. The two groups were statistically evaluated for the following items:Age at admission, initial visual acuity, hospitalization period, total dose of prednisolone per body weight-equivalent steroids administered, duration of steroid administration, the period until the systemic dose of corticosteroids is reduced to 30 mg per day final visual acuity, and the presence of recurrence.

Results:Of the 37 patients(13 men, 24 women), 10 cases of papillitis type and 27 cases of serous retinal detachment type were observed, respectively. The mean(±standard deviation)age of the groups was 60.5±12.3 years and 47.4±17.8 years, respectively, and a significantly higher mean age was observed in patients with papillitis type than those with serous retinal detachment type. Recurrence rate was 24.3% in all patients, including 33% in the papillitis type and 22% in the serous retinal detachment type.

Conclusions:Papillitis type tended to have a higher age of onset and more recurrences than serous retinal detachment type, and careful attention is required toward this finding. Systemic administration of steroids for VKH should be considered according to age and type of disease.
