Excerpt

We thank Sulli and colleagues [1] for their interest in our article entitled 'Comparison of laser Doppler imaging, fingertip lacticemy test, and nailfold capillaroscopy for assessment of digital microcirculation in systemic sclerosis' [2], which was published in a recent issue of Arthritis Research & Therapy. Sulli and colleagues commented on our results regarding the lack of correlation between the laser Doppler imaging (LDI) technique and nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) and raised interesting questions. …
