Preliminary Evaluation of in vivo Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Features of Neonatal Lupus Erythematosus.
Introduction: Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is a rare autoimmune disease, which needs to be distinguished from eczema, congenital syphilis, and tinea corporis in newborns. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) could be a helpful noninvasive diagnostic tool, which has been used to evaluate several inflammatory skin conditions. The aim of this study was to describe the RCM characteristics of NLE.
Methods: Eleven NLE patients were included in the study, and all patients were evaluated clinically with RCM. We also evaluated RCM images from 11 eczema patients as controls.
Results: Some major key diagnostic features of NLE can be observed by RCM: an enlarged honeycomb pattern (9/11, 81.8%), round-to-oval cyst-like structures were present (6/11, 54.5%), the normal ring-like structures were totally or partially obliterated (11/11, 100%) at the level of the dermo-epidermal junction, medium refractivity collagen fibers that were disorganized (10/11, 90.9%), numerous high refractivity round cells (11/11, 100%) in the dermis.
Conclusion: RCM allows the visualization of major key diagnostic features of NLE and serves as a complementary diagnostic tool for NLE.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1893, ''Dermatology'' provides a worldwide survey of clinical and investigative dermatology. Original papers report clinical and laboratory findings. In order to inform readers of the implications of recent research, editorials and reviews prepared by invited, internationally recognized scientists are regularly featured. In addition to original papers, the journal publishes rapid communications, short communications, and letters to ''Dermatology''. ''Dermatology'' answers the complete information needs of practitioners concerned with progress in research related to skin, clinical dermatology and therapy. The journal enjoys a high scientific reputation with a continually increasing impact factor and an equally high circulation.
