Phenotype-associated microvascular differences in pediatric Behçet’s disease revealed by nailfold videocapillaroscopy
• Pediatric Behçet's disease shows measurable NVC abnormalities compared with healthy children, even in the absence of clinically overt vascular involvement. • Microvascular alterations are significantly more pronounced in complete phenotype than incomplete phenotype, suggesting cumulative vascular burden independent of disease activity scores.
