Nailfold capillaroscopy is used for the identification of microvascular involvement in many rheumatic and extrarheumatic diseases.
Aim
To determine the nailfold capillary changes in patients with Behçet disease (BD) by videodermoscopy, i.e. nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC).
Methods
We used a videodermatoscope (Molemax II, × 30 magnification) to perform nailfold capillaroscopy on 40 patients with BD and 40 healthy controls (HC). All nailfold images were evaluated for capillary density, distribution and morphology, assessing features such as enlargement or tortuosity of the capillaries, microhaemorrhages and avascular areas.
Results
Enlarged capillaries were detected in 14 patients, microhaemorrhages in 6 patients, and avascular area in 3 patients. There was a statistically significant difference between patients with …
