Abstract
Purpose: To describe a case of virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome with ocular changes resembling Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease prior to the systemic changes. Methods: A 51-year-old man presented with a sudden decline in vision. The patient was examined by fluorescein angiography, bone marrow biopsy, abdominal ultrasound, ocular examinations, and laboratory examinations. Results: Fluorescein angiography revealed uveitis resembling Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. Bone marrow biopsy specimen demonstrated histiocytic hyperplasia and some hemophagocytes. Abdominal ultrasound findings indicated hepato-splenomegaly. And ocular examinations revealed hematocytopenia and hypoproteinemia. Conclusion: The ocular changes resembling Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease observed in this study could be a kind of manifestation of virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome in retina.Keywords
