EULAR Course on Capillaroscopy and Rheumatic Diseases (bi-annual)
The course is intended to teach the attendees the proper methodology for the capillaroscopic
investigation of the nailfold bed in normal and pahtological conditions. The attendees learn how to
distinguish the different basic NC patterns characterizing the major connective tissue diseases
associated or not with secondary RP. Participants are involved in theoretical and practical
capillaroscopic sessions involving rheumatic patients. Besides, practical aspects concerning the
effects of anti-rheumatic therapies on microcirculation and inflammation from scleroderma to
rheumatoid arthritis are also discussed.
At the end of the course the attendees are able to use the capillaroscopic tools. Moreover they
are able to recognize and describe all the major NC patterns. The course is especially devoted to
trainees and young rheumatologists.
