Abstract
Infections are common causes of morbidity in the chronic renal failure population, but infectious arthritis is rarely encountered. Septic arthritis is usually of hematogenous origin and is increasingly being reported in elderly patients, who often have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Escherichia coli septic arthritis is rare and usually occurs in patients with underlying systemic disorders. We report a case of Escherichia coil monoarthritis and a concomitant urinary tract infection with Escherichia coil sepsis in a uremic patient and consider the prevalence, possible predisposing factors and treatment for the infection.
