Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) infection is an uncommon manifestation in patients with chronic renal failure. In this article, we present a case of L. monocytogenes bacteremia in a patient undergoing hemodialysis. In addition, we are also present the listeriosis cases in hemodialysis patients reported so far in the literature. The patient was a 58-year-old man who was undergoing hemodialysis and had been admitted to hospital with fever. On the 5th day of admission, L. monocytogenes was detected in his blood cultures. He responded dramatically to ampicillin treatment. Listeriosis is a disease that requires careful microbiological laboratory examination. If the patient cultures are not analyzed carefully, the disease can be misdiagnosed. Only early diagnosis and adequate treatment can ensure a good prognosis.

Özet

Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) enfeksiyonu, kronik böbrek yetmezliği olan hastalarda nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Yazıda, L. Monocytogenes'e bağlı bakteriyemi saptanan bir hemodiyaliz hastası sunulmaktadır. Ek olarak literatürde günümüze dek bildirilmiş olan listeriosis'li hemodiyaliz hastaları da sunulmaktadır. Hemodiyalize girmekte olan 58 yaşında erkek hasta, ateş şikayeti ile hastaneye başvurdu. Yatışının 5. gününde kan kültürlerinde L. monocytogenes saptandı. Hasta ampisilin tedavisine dramatik olarak iyi cevap verdi. Listeriosis; mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarında dikkatli incelemeler sonucu teşhis edilebilen bir hastalıktır. Kültürler dikkatli incelenmez ise yanlış teşhis edilebilir. Ancak erken teşhis ve uygun tedavi ile prognozu iyidir.
