Juvenile anti-TIF1 dermatomyositis: nailfold overview
Overview from the active juvenile anti-TIF1 dermatomyositis case. Open the source study to examine the arborizing capillaries described in its report.
Source study context
Capillaroscopy shows a severe active scleroderma-like pattern, with very low capillary density, numerous giant capillaries, frequent enlarged capillaries, arborizing abnormal shapes, and architectural disorganization. This morphology is highly suggestive of active microangiopathy in juvenile dermatomyositis.
Measurements and classification refer to the described study or visit; they are not new measurements of this image.
