[Urosepsis due to emphysematous cystitis].
Emphysematous cystitis is a rare infectious disease which diagnosis requires a high grade of suspicion in patients with compatible clinical symptoms, risk factors that make them susceptible, and a radiographic examination that confirm the suspicion. Patients usually have a favorable evolution with an early diagnosis and an appropriate management. We present a 75 years old diabetic patient with emphysematous cystitis that develops into an urosepsis treated in a conservative management.
