Abstrakt: The bacterial endogenous endophthalmitis is a slightly frequent pathology with a poor visual prognosis that needs a precocious diagnosis and treatment. We present the case of a diabetic patient who presented a Escherichia coli bacteremia of urinary origin, with endogenous endophthalmitis, meningitis and spondylitis. She was treated with intravenous and topic antibiotics, obtaining a cessation in the progression of the disease and preserving the capacity for luminous perception in the eye.
