NB: Roth's spots, or white-centered retinal hemorrhages, may be seen in a variety of conditions, including: leukemia, subacute bacterial endocarditis, ischemic events associated with elevated venous pressure, and systemic vascular conditions with capillary fragility.

2-Osler’s nodes: Painful, erythematous nodules most commonly found on the pads of the fingers and toes of some patients with infective endocarditis.

3-Janeway lesions: Nontender, erythematous and nodular lesions most commonly found on the palms and soles of some patients with infective endocarditis.
