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.
