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.
