Juvenile anti-NXP2 dermatomyositis: initial overview
Initial nailfold overview in the juvenile anti-NXP2 longitudinal case. Compare the follow-up and the documented quantitative findings in the complete case.
Source study context
The June 2024 capillaroscopy showed an early scleroderma-like pattern compatible with juvenile dermatomyositis, including reduced density, frequent enlarged capillaries, sparse giant capillaries, and hemorrhages. The December 2024 follow-up showed disappearance of giant capillaries and evolution toward a non-specific pattern, with improved capillary density.
