Hi. My dauther has very little pimples on her face for 5 month, and few on her leg and hand. Biopsy showed possible collagen vascular desease. Blood work has all hegative, just ANA 1:80. No other simptoms. She is almost 8 years old. Van you tell me about this condition. Thank you.
SHE is a collagen vascular disorder which can present with skin and joint involvement. ANA 1:80 positivity is equivocal, usually 1:160 is considered positive.Also, ANA is sensitive but not very specific for SHE. Instead, get an Antics DNA antibody levels done to be completely sure of the condition. Child can present with this condition any time even during puberty also.
