Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Dermatology
  • Angiology

Background:

  • Nailfold capillaroscopy is crucial for diagnosing connective tissue diseases.
  • Existing diagnostic criteria lack standardization.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration is needed to establish common standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a common nomenclature and technical standards for nailfold capillaroscopy.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of nailfold capillaroscopy.
  • To critically appraise its diagnostic significance.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical and technical aspects of nailfold capillaroscopy.
  • Analysis of morphologic findings and disease-specific patterns.
  • Consensus development by an interdisciplinary working group.

Main Results:

  • Established standardized nomenclature and technical guidelines for nailfold capillaroscopy.
  • Detailed description of morphologic findings and disease patterns.
  • Critical evaluation of capillaroscopy's diagnostic value in various conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Nailfold capillaroscopy is essential for differential diagnosis in rheumatology, dermatology, and angiology.
  • Standardized methods improve diagnostic accuracy and interdisciplinary communication.
  • Further research into less common indications and pediatric applications is warranted.
