Description |
There have been several documented cases of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) like symptoms associated with interferon-alpha treatment in chronic hepatitis C patient. There has also been at least two reports of similar presentations with the use of ipilimumab, another monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of melanoma. We present a case of bilateral optic disc swelling and panuveitis with choroiditis and multifocal serous retinal detachments in a patient being treated with Pembrolizumab and Pegylated interferon alfa-2b for metastatic melanoma. |
