Abstract
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKHS) is a multi-organ disorder with well-established diagnostic criteria, which is little known by the dermatologist. We emphasize the importance of early recognition and treatment of VKHS, avoiding especially the ophthalmologic sequels. Since vitiligo is closely related to the syndrome and other autoimmune disorders, we question the need for a better evaluation of patients with vitiligo by dermatologists.
