Janeway lesion



Janeway lesions are non-tender, small erythematous or haemorrhagic macules or nodules in the palms or soles, which are pathognomonic of infective endocarditis. The pathology is due to a type III hypersensitivity reaction.

They are named after Edward G. Janeway (1872–1917), a professor of medicine with interests in cardiology and infectious disease.[1]
