Abstract

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease, a bilateral granulomatous panuveitis associated with multisystem involvement, is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disorder in which cytotoxic T-cell target melanocytes in genetically susceptible individuals. Recently, there has been an increase in literature on the new onset of uveitis and reactivation of previously diagnosed cases of uveitis following Covid-19 vaccinations. It has been postulated that Covid-19 vaccines can lead to an immunomodulatory change resulting in an autoimmune phenomenon in the recipients. VKH following COVID-19 infection was reported in four patients and a total of 46 patients developing VKH or VKH-like disease following COVID-19 vaccinations. There are reports of four patients who had been recovering or recovered from VKH after receiving the first dosage of the vaccine and developed worsening of ocular inflammation after receiving the second dose of the vaccine.
