Abstract
Acral lesions are well-known physical findings in various infectious disorders. Although they are often overlooked, they can be the key to the diagnosis of the underlying disease. Considering this, we present an overview of various infectious causes of acral lesions in childhood. In addition, we discuss their characteristic presentation, evolution, and appropriate treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first review covering viral, bacterial and mycotic causes.
