We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who consulted in the emergency department for depressed level of consciousness, fever, nuchal rigidity, and shock. The diagnostic tests became an infrequent diagnosis: acute endocarditis caused by Escherichia coli. The computed tomography of the head showed lesions which were compatible with septic emboli. Only 0.51% of endocarditis are caused by Escherichia coli, and they are associated with a high rate of complications and mortality. Treatment of endocarditis caused by gram-negative organisms is controversial; we proposed cardiac surgery in our patient, however it was rejected because she had a good clinical response to antibiotic treatment.Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 69 años que consulta ...
