ABSTRACT
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.

La cistitis enfisematosa es una patología infecciosa rara cuyo diagnóstico requiere un alto grado de sospecha ante una clínica compatible en pacientes con factores de riesgo que le hagan susceptible, y unos datos radiográficos que confirmen dicha sospecha. Habitualmente evolucionan bien con un diagnóstico precoz y un manejo adecuado. Presentamos un caso de cistitis enfisematosa en un paciente de 75 años, diabético, que evoluciona a un estado séptico tratado de forma conservadora (AU)
