Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes may cause infection presented as isolated bacteriemia, meningoencephalitis or peritonitis in immunosuppressed patients with malignant disease. Immunsuppression in these patients occurs due to immunosuprresive effects of the disease or chemotherapy. This report prevents a 65-Year-old male case of febrile neutropenia with L. monocytogenes pneumonitis and bacteremia and also reviews on literature reported the L monocytogenes infections seen in patients with cancer.

Özet

Listeria monocytogenes, özellikle hastalığa veya uygulanan kemoterapilere bağlı immün sistemi bozulan kanser hastalarında izole bakteriyemi, meningo-ensefalit veya peritonit gibi değişik klinik tablolarla karşımıza çıkabilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, Non- Hodgkin lenfoma nedeniyle kemoterapi gören, sonrasında nötropeni ve ardından L monocytogenes'e bağlı pnömoni gelişen 65 yaşında bir erkek hasta bildirilmiş ve bununla beraber onkolojik hastalarda görülen Listeria infeksiyonları ile ilgili genel bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır.
