Oslers nodes are painful, red, raised lesions found on the hands and feet. They are associated with a number of conditions, including infective endocarditis, and are caused by immune complex deposition. Their presence is one definition of Oslers sign. Causes
Oslers nodes result from the deposition of immune complexes. The resulting inflammatory response leads to swelling, redness, and pain that characterize these lesions. The nodes are commonly indicative of subacute bacterial endocarditis. 10–25% of endocarditis patients will have Oslers nodes. Other signs of endocarditis include Roths spots and Janeway lesions. The latter, which also occur on the palms and soles, can be differentiated from Oslers nodes because they are non-tender.Oslers nodes can also be seen in

Systemic lupus erythematosus
Marantic endocarditis
Disseminated gonococcal infection
Distal to infected arterial catheter

Etymology
Oslers nodes are named after Sir William Osler who described them in the early twentieth century. He described them as "ephemeral spots of a painful nodular erythema, chiefly in the skin of the hands and feet." == References ==
