title: Hand infections.
abstract: The family physician, who is often preoccupied by a demanding practice and a great variety of conditions, may sometimes underestimate a hand infection. Now that antibiotherapy has given us a powerful weapon, the sequelae that led to maiming in the last decades should be eliminated. All that is required is some knowledge, speedy drainage and strict observation.
