| Core Tip |
Listeria is a considered a food-borne disease but is rarely prevalent in the normal population. We present herein, a rare case of meningoencephalitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) that evolved in a previously healthy immunocompetent old male patient. Both the cerebrospinal fluid metagenomic test and bilateral blood culture test results suggested the occurrence of L. monocytogenes. The findings of this case highlight the ultimate importance of early identification and timely application of sensitive antibiotics. Therefore, for high-risk populations with unknown causes of fever, multiple blood cultures, timely cerebrospinal fluid examination, and metagenomic detection technology can assist in confirming the diagnosis quickly, which can facilitate the application of suitable antibiotics and significantly improve the prognosis. |
