Juvenile-onset localized scleroderma activity detection by infrared thermography

Abstract: Our results demonstrate that thermography is a promising diagnostic tool when associated with clinical examination in discriminating disease activity, as long as it is applied to lesions without severe atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous fat. Further evaluation is needed to determine whether thermography can predict the future progression of lesions.

“…Martini et al (63) compararam imagem IR com descrição clínica da atividade da lesão em 40 crianças com esclerodermia localizada (total de 30 imagens) e encontraram sensibilidade de 92% e especificidade de 68%. A especificidade foi ainda maior em lesões novas e recentes (87,5% em lesões com menos de dois anos), com valor preditivo positivo de 87%.…”

“…It demonstrates a high sensitivity (92%) and a slightly lower specificity (68%) which is responsible for falsely positive results within old inactive lesions [36,37]. The main inconveniences of the method are the need to ensure controlled temperature during the examination and the lack of possibility to assess the morphology of lesions [32].…”

“…Thermography is performed within affected sites and, for comparative purposes, in a homolateral area of healthy skin. The result is considered positive when the difference in temperature between the compared sites is > 0.5°C [36].…”

“…It detects active disease but has low specificity, especially in the detection of older lesions with atrophy of skin and subcutaneous fat [61]. In such cases, laser Doppler flowmetry can discriminate real active lesions from false-positives [62].…”
