Nailfold capillary phenotypes distinguish juvenile myositis subtypes and associate with disease activity. [PDF]
Nailfold capillaroscopy is a non‐invasive imaging tool that can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of juvenile myositis. Branched nailfold capillary morphology is more common in juvenile myositis patients, particularly those positive for TIF1γ+ autoantibodies. Juvenile myositis patients with more active disease demonstrate increased microhaemorrhages,
