Capillaroscopy

Periungual capillaroscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic examination that, by observing the capillaries around the fingernails using a microscope or high-resolution video camera, allows for the detection of morpho-functional alterations of the microcirculation, such as abnormalities in shape, density, or presence of microhemorrhages of the capillaries to diagnose and monitor rheumatic pathologies.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

Systemic sclerosis
Mixed connectivitis
Dermato-polymyositis
Eosinophilic fasciitis
Sjögren's syndrome
