Figure 1. (A) Nailfold abnormalities with visible bleeding and
visible giant capillaries in the nailfold of our patient. (B) Skin
necroses and pallor on the left fingertips DII and DIII.
Figure 2. Native microscopy of the nailfold capillaries (magnification
360x). (A) Healthy individual; normal, hairpin-shaped capillary
morphology. (B) Our patient; clearly dilatated capillaries (giant
capillaries) and capillary rarefaction.
Figure 3. Fluorescence video microscopy of the nailfold (magnification
360x). (A) Healthy control. The fluorescence dye only stains the
capillary loop and the pericapillary halo. (B) Our patient: cone-shaped
dye leakage at the apex of the capillary loop (arrow) indicating
microangiopathy in the microvessel structure of the skin capillaries.
