RECURRENT OSLER’S NODES IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
2016Co-Authors: Basil M. RuduskyAbstract:Statements regarding the Osler’s node as a pathognomonic sign of subacute bacterial endocarditis still abound in the medical literature. Although it is true that the mucocutaneous Lesions, such as Osler’s nodes, Janeway’s spots, conjunctival petechiae and splinter hemorrhages, are more frequently seen in patients with subacute bacterial endocarditis than with other conditions, none are pathognomonic for this disease. Osler’s nodes have been described in cases of typhoid fever, gonorrhea, acute bacterial endocarditis, &dquo;marantic&dquo; endocarditis and systemic lupus erythematosus. 1-4 The Janeway Lesion has been recently described in a patient with a mycotic aneurysm. ° Subungual splinter hemorrhages may be found in 10 to 66 per cent of persons in whom no type of infection can be found and are, therefore, of considerably less diag-nostic significance.1, 6, 7 This paper reports the unusual manifestation of re-current, classic Osler’s nodes in a patient with subacute systemic lupus erythem-atosus who has had no evidence of bacterial endocarditis. The Osler’s nodes were intermittently present for more than 2 years. In addition, it would appea
