Steroid Resistant Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease Treated Effectively with Cyclosporine
Abstract:
Purpose: To report two cases of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) resistant to systemic corticosteroid therapy, effectively treated with systemic cyclosporine. Case 1: A 52-year-old man diagnosed as VKH was administered oral corticosteroids (40 mg/day), following steroid pulse therapy. Since there was no significant improvement, he underwent a second course of steroid pulse therapy and oral corticosteroid administration (40 mg/day). However, there was still no improvement, and a combination therapy of both oral corticosteroids (40 mg/day) and cyclosporine 200 mg (3 mg/kg) was administered. As a result, the inflammation subsided and the dosage of the drugs was tapered successfully. Case 2: A 50-year-old man diagnosed as VKH underwent two courses of steroid pulse therapy, which did not improve significantly. We performed combination therapy of both corticosteroids and cyclosporine, similar to the case described above and obtained good results. Conclusion: Our experience of these two cases indicates that systemic cyclosporine treatment was effective in the management of VKH patients resistant to conventional systemic corticosteroid therapy.
