Harada's disease, bilateral

This code signifies Harada's disease affecting both eyes. Harada's disease, also known as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome, is a rare, autoimmune inflammatory disorder that primarily affects pigmented structures, leading to bilateral panuveitis, serous retinal detachments, and often neurological and dermatological manifestations.

Use this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of Harada's disease with involvement of both the left and right eyes. This diagnosis is typically made by an ophthalmologist based on clinical findings, imaging (e.g., fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography), and exclusion of other causes of uveitis.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "bilateral" involvement or clearly indicates both eyes are affected.
• Do not confuse with other forms of uveitis; Harada's disease has specific diagnostic criteria.
• Code any associated neurological (e.g., meningitis, hearing loss) or dermatological (e.g., vitiligo, poliosis) manifestations separately.
