Anti-Scl-70 systemic sclerosis: enlarged loops and hemorrhages
Enlarged loops and dark hemorrhagic deposits in the anti-Scl-70-positive active-pattern case. The source report notes no avascular areas in the study.
Source study context
Capillaroscopy shows marked capillary reduction (5.86/mm), frequent dilations (54%), a high prevalence of giant capillaries (39.7%), and hemorrhages, without avascular areas, matching an active Cutolo pattern. The CSURI index has increased. Blood flow is homogeneous, with reduced linear velocity.
Measurements and classification refer to the described study or visit; they are not new measurements of this image.
