Abstract
In the last decade, nailfold capillaroscopy is finding its way to the daily clinic of (pediatric) rheumatologist. This review will provide the necessary knowledge for the clinician performing this easy and non-invasive examination in children. In the first part, background information on type of capillaroscopy device and standardized (internationally validated) interpretations for the different capillary variables compared to healthy pediatric controls will be provided. The second part focusses on capillary changes that are observed in Raynaud's phenomenon with follow-up recommendations. This part will also cover capillaroscopy findings in juvenile systemic sclerosis, childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus, juvenile dermatomyositis and –mixed connective tissue disease, as well as correlations with disease severity. Lastly, a research agenda shows the current gaps we have in knowledge in this niche of nailfold capillaroscopy in pediatric connective tissue diseases.
期刊介绍：
Evidence-based updates of best clinical practice across the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions.
Best Practice & Research: Clinical Rheumatology keeps the clinician or trainee informed of the latest developments and current recommended practice in the rapidly advancing fields of musculoskeletal conditions and science.
The series provides a continuous update of current clinical practice. It is a topical serial publication that covers the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions in a 4-year cycle. Each topic-based issue contains around 200 pages of practical, evidence-based review articles, which integrate the results from the latest original research with current clinical practice and thinking to provide a continuous update.
Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. The review articles seek to address the clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient. The serial is aimed at the physician in both practice and training.
