Blood Whispers: Exploring Hematologic Indicators for Diagnosing and Predicting Severity of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome.

To investigate the association of clinical findings and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) score with inflammatory markers derived from complete blood count (CBC) parameters in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) to determine the diagnostic and predictive role. Demographic characteristics, presenting complaints, ocular findings, optical coherence tomography findings, ICGA scores and best corrected visual acuity were recorded in treatment-naive VKH patients at presentation. Patients were divided into two groups as acute stage and chronic recurrent stage. CBC parameters were noted in patients at presentation and healthy controls (HC, Thirty-two patients with VKH (23 females/9 males) with a mean age of 34.1 ± 14.6 years were included in the study. There was an increase in neutrophil count, NLR and SII in patients with VKH compared to HC ( CBC-derived inflammatory parameters indicate that VKH is a systemic inflammation. These parameters can be used in the diagnosis and determination of disease severity of VKH.
