Although sometimes a viral infection, or skin or eye trauma precedes an outbreak, the exact underlying initiator of VKH<unk>  remains unknown. VKH is attributed, however, to aberrant T-cell-mediated immune response directed against self-antigens found on melanocytes. Stimulated by interleukin 23 (IL-23), T helper 17 cells and cytokines, such as interleukin 17, appear to target proteins in the melanocytes.
