In the medical field, Janeway lesions are small, painless, and non-tender spots or patches that appear on the palms, soles, fingers, or toes of individuals with certain infectious diseases, particularly bacterial endocarditis. These lesions are purplish or reddish in color and are caused by the immune system's response to an infection, leading to the damage of blood vessels.
