Abstract
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome refers to an idiopathic, multisystemic and autoimmune disease, which compromises organs rich in melanocytes, mainly eyes, generating recurrent cases of uveitis associated with auditory, neurological and skin symptoms. This disorder involves innate, humoral and cellular immunity, with antigenic targets of the tyrosinase family and gp100 in people with a genetic predisposition to melanocyte intolerance through specific HLA expression. Most patients with the syndrome debut with an episode similar to a viral condition, which subsequently associates uveitic symptoms, which, if not treated in time, lead to recurrence and chronicity of the disease that can lead to blindness and hearing impairment, because of this, professionals must make a successful early diagnosis. Currently, the management of this disease is based on the early establishment of a triple therapy with systemic corticosteroids, non-steroidal immunosuppressants and biological response modifiers; these last ones are being studied in order to provide new complementary therapeutic options.
