Abstract
⺠We reviewed the literature for cytokine profiles in localized scleroderma (LS). ⺠Though limited in LS, most findings reflect cytokine profiles in systemic sclerosis. ⺠Both Th1 and Th2 cytokines are found to be elevated in the sera of LS patients. ⺠Elevated cytokines correlate to clinical data such as LS subtype and disease burden. ⺠Assessment of disease activity and cytokine profile in the tissue should be considered.
