Resolution of Harada disease-like uveitis after quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccination: a case report

Abstract

This article describes a patient who developed Harada disease-like uveitis after quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV4) vaccination and experienced resolution without any systemic treatment. To achieve this aim, a case report and a review of related literature on HPV vaccination causing uveitis were conducted. The results of this study show a diagnosis of Harada disease-like uveitis after HPV4 vaccination based on the vaccination history, clinical symptoms, and multimodal imaging. Resolution without any systemic corticosteroid treatment was observed. According to these findings, patients may develop uveitis with Harada-like features, which can be a mild and self-limiting process, after HPV4 vaccination.
