Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is a common cause of central nervous system infection, especially in immunosuppressed patients, infants, and the elderly and in pregnancy; it is uncommon in individuals with immunocompetent status. In this case report, we aimed to present the case of an immunocompetent 45-year-old patient who presented with meningoencephalitis due to Listeria, which was complicated with hydrocephalus.

Özet

Listeria monocytogenes özellikle immünsüprese hastalar, infantlar, gebeler ve yaşlılarda santral sinir sistemi infeksiyonunun sık görülen etkenlerinden biridir, immünkompetanlarda ise daha nadirdir. Bu olgu sunumunda tanı konmuş immünsüpresyonu olmayan, 45 yaşında, hidrosefaliyle komplike olmuş Listeria meningoensefaliti olgusu tartışılmıştır.
