This case report highlights Osler nodes, subungual hemorrhages, and Janeway lesions linked to an infected arterial catheter. Prompt surgical intervention is crucial for infected arterial catheters unresponsive to medical treatment.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Infectious Diseases
Dermatology

Background:

Infective endocarditis can manifest with peripheral stigmata.
Arterial catheters are potential sources of systemic infection.
Osler nodes, subungual hemorrhages, and Janeway lesions are key dermatological signs.

Observation:

A patient presented with Osler nodes, subungual hemorrhages, and Janeway lesions.
These findings were observed peripherally to an infected arterial catheter.

Findings:

The dermatological manifestations were directly associated with the infected arterial catheter.
Prompt recognition of these signs is vital for diagnosing catheter-related infections.

Implications:
