Pyogenic ventriculitis is an infection of the cerebral ventricles usually associated with neurosurgery or head trauma. There are less than 10 reported cases of community-acquired pyogenic ventriculitis in adults. We present the case of a 71-year-old man with a medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hospitalized due to urosepsis caused by E. coli. Because he had a fluctuant level of consciousness, he underwent magnetic resonance imaging that diagnosed pyogenic ventriculitis. He was treated with ceftriaxone 2 g 12/12h for a total of 6 weeks and recovered without neurological deficits. Pyogenic ventriculitis is a clinical challenge due to its rarity, atypical presentation and variety of aetiological microorganisms.

Introduction: There are very few documented cases of Escherichia coli endocarditis with cardiac abscesses in the literature. Here we describe a case presentation with diagnostic challenges and a multidisciplinary approach to management.
Case description: This is a rare presentation of E. coli endocarditis in a patient with a prosthetic aortic valve. Initial tests were inconclusive and further investigation with transoesophageal echocardiography was required to make the diagnosis. Despite initial improvement, the patient deteriorated and ultimately died of complications related to the presentation.
Discussion/conclusion: E. coli is a rare causative organism for endocarditis, which can itself be difficult to diagnose. A multidisciplinary approach to investigation and treatment is required when infective endocarditis is suspected. Transoesophageal echocardiography may be required to diagnose endocarditis when there is a strong clinical suspicion and risk factors present.
