Reliability of using an ultrasound scoring measure for juvenile localized scleroderma (jLS)
Purpose Although ultrasound shows great potential for aiding assessment of LS disease activity, its use has been limited because both image acquisition and interpretation are operator dependent. To facilitate evaluating and to standardize interpretation of jLS ultrasound scans, we generated a scoring measure for evaluating echogenicity and vascularity differences (U-DA, Ped Rheum 2010;8:14). Ob...
متن کاملJuvenile localized scleroderma: review of 44 patients
Results 70.5% of patients were females. CM (34.1%) and LM (34.1%) were the most frequently subtypes. Mean age at first symptoms was 7.7 years (Figure 1). Medium time between first signs/symptoms and diagnosis was 15.42 months.

Localized scleroderma also known as morphea is an inflammatory, fibrosing skin disorder that leads to sclerosis of the dermis and eventually of the underlying tissues. The prevalence is estimated at around 1-9/100,000 with the onset before 10 years of age in 2% of patients. The associatio...
متن کاملLong-term methotrexate efficacy in juvenile localized scleroderma
Methods We prospectively followed a cohort of patients with JLS who were enrolled in a double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Oral MTX was used at a dose of 15 mg/m once a week (max 20 mg) for at lest 24 months; prednisone (1 mg/Kg/day, max 50 mg), in a single morning dose for 3 months was added. A target lesion was evaluated clinically, with infrared thermography and using a computerized s...
