    Hand Infections

    • Parona's space infection is commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
    • Paronychia can be caused by bacterial, fungal, or yeast infections.
    • Tenosynovitis is an inflammation of the tendon sheath.
    • Deep space infections in the hand can lead to complications such as osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and finger amputation.
    • A cat bite to the hand can lead to infections such as cellulitis, abscess, or tenosynovitis.
