To describe the clinical presentation of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome in a group of patients in Colombia.
Retrospective review of 2638 medical records of patients with uveitis in two centers during 17 years.
A total of 25 patients with uveitis were diagnosed with VKH syndrome (0.95%), 23 patients were included in the data analysis (0.87%), 78.3% females, and mean age of diagnosis was 37 years (SD ± 29). Main complaints: blurred vision (87%), headaches (47.8%), tinnitus (26.1%), and hearing impairments (21.7%). Ophthalmic findings: bilateral serous retinal detachment (73.9%) and non-granulomatous uveitis (52.3%). Most of the patients were diagnosed with probable disease (56.5%). Mean duration of follow-up was 14 months; disease relapse was encountered in 26% of patients despite treatment.
Patients in Colombia with VKH had clinical features similar to those reported in other Hispanic populations, except for the non-granulomatous uveitis. This disease may be considered as having variation of clinical manifestations across population groups.

对两个中心 17 年间 2638 例葡萄膜炎患者的病历进行回顾性分析。
共诊断出 25 例 VKH 综合征患者(0.95%),其中 23 例纳入数据分析(0.87%),女性占 78.3%,诊断时的平均年龄为 37 岁(标准差±29)。主要症状:视力模糊(87%)、头痛(47.8%)、耳鸣(26.1%)和听力障碍(21.7%)。眼部表现:双侧浆液性视网膜脱离(73.9%)和非肉芽肿性葡萄膜炎(52.3%)。大多数患者被诊断为可能的疾病(56.5%)。平均随访时间为 14 个月;尽管进行了治疗,但仍有 26%的患者出现疾病复发。
哥伦比亚的 VKH 患者的临床特征与其他西班牙裔人群相似,除了非肉芽肿性葡萄膜炎。该疾病的临床表现可能因人群而异。
