Does anyone know the pathogenesis of ROth's spots, osler nodes, janeway lesions and splinter hemmorhages?

Are they IC deposition, or infective bacterial particles that broke off from the heart?

Well except Osler's nodes, I believe they are all microemboli from the infective valve.

Osler's nodes are actually immune complex deposition.
