摘要
Aim: To report the case of a patient with bilateral anterior granulomatous keratouveitis and sunset glow fundus. Method: Review of case record. Results: A 15-year-old patient had bilateral anterior granulomatous keratouveitis and sunset glow fundus similar to findings in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH). However, the patient also suffered additional autoimmune disease against endocrine glands. In addition to anti-thyroid antibody and anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody, anti-melanocyte autoantibody was detected in serum from this patient. The authors finally diagnosed autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Conclusion: If resistance against treatment exists for VKH, particularly in pediatric cases, this disease should be considered and other endocrine disorders examined.
