Nailfold capillary abnormalities in 42 consecutive patients with systemic sclerosis were studied by wide field capillary microscopy, and capillary abnormalities were correlated with organ involvement. Twenty-eight patients hd diffuse skin disease, and 14 had the CREST variant of systemic sclerosis (calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, telangiectasis) with anticentromere antibodies. Nailfold capillary enlargement and loss were graded from photographs. There was no correlation between the severity of either nailfold capillary loss or enlargement and duration of disease, number of organ systems involved, or acroosteolysis. The presence of telangiectasis correlated with extreme capillary enlargement (P less than 0.025). Based on these findings it can be concluded that nailfold capillary changes in individual patients with systemic sclerosis are not useful in predicting organ involvement.
