BACKGROUND: Nail diseases are often associated with significant physical and psychosocial burden, but diagnosis is challenging due to nonspecific clinical and histological findings. Nailfold capillaroscopy has been studied for the diagnosis of systemic diseases, but studies on nail diseases are lacking.
OBJECTIVE: The objectives of our study were to characterize and compare capillary changes in a set of nail conditions versus controls, between nail groups, and based on demographic/clinical criteria.
METHODS: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of patients with nail psoriasis, onychomycosis, idiopathic onycholysis, brittle nail syndrome, nail lichen planus, retronychia, other nail conditions, and no nail findings (controls) undergoing capillaroscopy imaging/analysis.
RESULTS: Nail psoriasis versus control patients demonstrated decreased capillary length/density and increased abnormal capillaries, with higher frequency in older, male patients. Onychomycosis was associated with increased meandering capillaries compared with controls, nail psoriasis, and nail lichen planus. Retronychia is associated with increased disorganized polymorphic capillaries compared with controls and onychomycosis.
LIMITATIONS: Limitations include a small sample size for certain nail conditions and small numbers of nail psoriasis patients with psoriatic arthritis.
CONCLUSION: Our findings highlight nailfold capillaroscopy as a potentially quick, cost-effective, and noninvasive imaging modality, as an adjunct for diagnosis and treatment initiation for patients with onychodystrophies.
