    Summary

    Circumscribed scleroderma (CS) patients often exhibit immune imbalances linked to endocrine system issues. Early combined endocrinological and immunological testing is crucial for effective management of CS.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Endocrinology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Circumscribed scleroderma (CS) is a connective tissue disease with potential systemic implications.
    • Understanding immunopathological alterations is key to managing CS.
    • Endocrine system involvement in CS requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of endocrine pathology in patients with circumscribed scleroderma.
    • To identify baseline immunopathological alterations in CS patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Circulating immune complexes were analyzed using the Digeon method.
    • The study included 70 patients diagnosed with circumscribed scleroderma.
    • Patient demographics: 52 females (74.3%) and 18 males (25.7%), aged 16-70 years.

    Main Results:

    • The Digeon assay for circulating immune complexes revealed significant immune imbalance.
    • Findings suggest metabolic disturbances within the connective tissue.
    • Evidence points towards affection of the endocrine system in CS patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Circumscribed scleroderma patients demonstrate immune imbalances associated with endocrine system involvement.
    • A comprehensive examination integrating endocrinological and immunological assessments is recommended for CS patients.
    • Early detection of endocrine pathology can aid in the management of circumscribed scleroderma.
