| Core Tip |
Listeria monocytogenes, an opportunistic pathogen, can be life-threatening when it infects the central nervous system (CNS). Herein, we report the case of a patient presenting with fever, headache, emesis, and perturbed consciousness. His condition rapidly deteriorated after empiric antibiotic therapy. He was finally diagnosed with Listeria monocytogenes infection after re-examination. Despite a timely change in his medication regimen, the patient died. This case highlights the importance of rational clinical antibiotic therapy to avoid potentially serious infectious complications. When empiric antibiotic therapy fails, and Listeria infection of the CNS is suspected, bacterial culture should be repeated for timely adjustment of antibiotics. |
