    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous rapportons un cas d'ostéomyélite de l'extrémité inférieure du fémur chez l'adulte associée à une arthrite du genou de début suraigu; la bactériologie a été négative, et après une amélioration clinique sous antibiothérapie visant les bacilles Gram négatifs, l'apparition d'un volumineux séquestre a amené à une intervention au 12ème mois. Nous discutons cette association d'ostéomyélite et d'arthrite, classique chez le nourrisson et le nouveau-né, mais dont les publications sont très peu fréquentes en ce qui concerne l'adulte. Nous discutons la physiopathogénie de l'atteinte articulaire. Cette observation malheureusement garde une partie de son mystère du fait de l'absence de preuve bactériologique.
    Notes: Abstract We report a case of acute haematogenous osteomyelitis of the lower part of the femur in a 44 years old woman, associated to an infectious arthritis of the knee. These observations are rather rare in adults. Few cases of similar association have been published. Our observation is particuliar for two reasons: 1) the knee infection occurred some days after the bone infection, not in the same time. 2) The pus culture have remained negative. We think that this case is to begin the discussion about the physiopathogeny of the joint contamination. We think that the joint have been contaminated by proximity of an infected necrotic bone, more than an haematogenous way. Such a dramatic evolution for the bone infection and the negativity of the cultures are to be related with the possibility of anaerobic germs.
