title: [Arthritis, endophthalmitis and endocarditis caused by Escherichia coli].
abstract: A female diabetic patient of 66 years old with acute pyelonephritis, caused by escherichia coli, was further complicated by bacteremia and a rare septic metastasis such as arthritis of the knee and coxa-femoral, unilateral purulent endophthalmitis with a loss of sight and aortic endocarditis which required a surgical change of valves, the posterior evolution being favourable.
