The skin lesions seen in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease also are most likely attributed to a cell-mediated T-lymphocyte response to melanin.

This prospective study showed that the clinical criteria most strongly suggestive of giant cell arteritis include jaw claudication, C-reactive protein level greater than 2.45 mg/dL, neck pain, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 47 mm/h or more.
