Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada associated with diabetes mellitus and celiac disease in a 3-year-old girl.
OBJECTIVE
To present a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) associated with type I diabetes mellitus and celiac disease in a 3 year old female.


METHODS
We studied a three-year old female who presented with clinical manifestation of VKH and type I Diabetes mellitus and celiac disease.


RESULTS
Patient was found to have hyperglycemia with type I diabetes mellitus. Duodenal mucosal biopsy specimen confirmed the diagnosis of celiac disease. Patient's ocular inflammation was treated by topical and systemic corticosteroid and immune-suppressive therapy. Her diabetes mellitus was controlled by insulin and her celiac disease was controlled by gluten-free diet.


CONCLUSIONS
The association of VKH with two autoimmune diseases (celiac disease and type I diabetes mellitus) is rare. This case is, to our knowledge, the youngest patient reported with VKH.
