ABSTRACT
Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a recently described disease whose distinction from progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) is still being discussed. PSS has a characteristic microcirculation pattern. We performed nailfold microscopy on 15 patients with EF and compared the results to those of 98 PSS patients and 75 normal control subjects. EF patients have a normal microcirculation pattern (13/15) or discrete, non-specific anomalies none had the typical capillary pattern associated with PSS and associated diseases. The findings of this study justify making a distinction between EF and PSS and demonstrate that nail fold microscopy can be a useful tool for an early differential diagnosis between these two disorders.
