failure of thiamphenicol in a penicillin-allergic patient with listeria meningoencephalitis--delayed cure following penicillin desensitization.a 27-year-old woman, without compromised immunodefenses, experienced a listeria meningoencephalitis, with brainstem symptoms. the identified agent exhibited poor susceptibility to usual effective antibiotics, except for penicillins. knowledge of past history of an allergic reaction to beta-lactam antibiotics lead to appropriate therapy after acute intravenous desensitization of the patient to amoxicillin. treatment resulted in therapeutic administration rate over 24 h, and in rapid regression of ...19921289374
[a case of listeria meningoencephalitis with a fatal result].a fatal case of severe meningoencephalitis caused by listeria monocytogenes in a compromised alcoholic has been described. unconsciousness, full meningeal symptoms with slight lateralisation of signs, seizures, respiratory failure within three days before death have been observed.19911819820
[listeria meningoencephalitis in a 2-year-old boy].we report the unusual case of a two year old boy with encephalomeningitis caused by listeria monocytogenes. the patient was hospitalized with the classical signs of severe bacterial meningitis. the microbiological investigations gave proof of listeria monocytogenes as causative agent 36 hours later. antibiotic treatment with ampicillin and gentamicin resulted in a prompt improvement of the boy's condition. the boy was discharged four weeks later.19902115616
arterial occlusion due to listeria meningoencephalitis in an immunocompromised boy.sequential cat scan studies of the brain were performed in a 7-year-old boy with listeria monocytogenes serotype 1 meningoencephalitis. the infection occurred while he was receiving maintenance chemotherapy for t-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma. a lesion in the right hemisphere during the infection resulted in an excessive enlargement of the right ventricle 10 months later, most probably caused by arterial occlusion.19873672054

experimental listeria meningoencephalitis. macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha and -2 are produced intrathecally and mediate chemotactic activity in cerebrospinal fluid of infected mice.in bacterial meningitis, the recruitment of leukocytes across the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system may be crucial for both elimination of pathogens and tissue injury. in addition to bacterial cell wall products, host factors including chemokines may lead to accumulation of phagocytes within the central nervous system. as shown by northern analysis, brains of mice infected intracerebrally with listeria monocytogenes (lm) express mrna for three chemokines, the macrophage inflamm ...19957594596
is amoxicillin-cotrimoxazole the most appropriate antibiotic regimen for listeria meningoencephalitis? review of 22 cases and the literature.from june 1983 to january 1994, 22 adult patients with severe listeria monocytogenes meningoencephalitis were observed in our intensive care unit. listeria monocytogenes was obtained in culture in cerebrospinal fluid or blood for every patient. seven patients were treated with the combination ampicillin-aminoglycoside (group a) and 15 patients with the combination ampicillin (or amoxicillin)-cotrimoxazole (group a + c). risk factors and gravity scores were similar in both groups. failure of the ...19968889993
tnf-alpha-mediated expression of the receptor for anaphylatoxin c5a on neurons in experimental listeria meningoencephalitis.the anaphylatoxin c5a has been implicated in the pathogenesis of bacterial meningitis as a potent mediator of inflammation in the subarachnoid space. we investigated the expression of the receptor for c5a (c5ar) in brains of mice with experimental listeria monocytogenes (lm) meningoencephalitis. in the course of the disease, infiltrating cells in the meninges and the ventricles were found to express c5ar mrna and protein. in the brain parenchyma, very low constitutive c5ar expression was seen on ...19979218605

[meningoencephalitis].there are many infectious agents that may be responsible for meningoencephalitis. historical data, clinical examination, analysis of cerebrospinal fluid and imaging often do not make it possible to retain initially a precise diagnostic orientation. in emergency, it is essential to seek the infectious causes imposing a specific treatment. herpes simplex virus encephalitis is rare but it must be be always searched and a presumptive treatment must be started because of the spontaneously fatal evolu ...200111345861
listeria meningoencephalitis: two cases and a review of the literature.although presently uncommon locally, listeria is increasing an important cause of central nervous system (cns) infection worldwide. it differs from the common meningitis pathogens in its clinical features and treatment.200111817300
syringomyelia following listeria meningoencephalitis: report of a case.a case of symptomatic syringomyelia which appeared six years after listeria meningoencephalitis is described. chronic spinal arachnoiditis, as shown by standard mri and dynamic phase contrast (pc) cine-mri, may occur after spinal infection and is likely the cause of syringomyelia. to our knowledge, there are no previous reports of delayed spinal complications following listeria monocytogenes infection. the possibility of developing syringomyelia should be always considered in any patient with a ...200312754657

neurolisteriosis causing hydrocephalus, trapped fourth ventricle, hindbrain herniation and syringomyelia.central nervous system infection by listeria monocytogenes is relatively uncommon, but is known to be highly morbid and fatal. we describe a case of listeria meningoencephalitis, wherein the acute episode was followed by a hitherto unreported conglomeration of severe and progressive neurological sequelae, in the form of supratentorial hydrocephalus, aqueduct block, trapped fourth ventricle, hindbrain herniation and syringomyelia. pertinent literature is reviewed and the pathogenesis of the obser ...200415702836
[a case in which the subject was affected by listeia meningoencephalitis during administration of infliximab for steroid-dependent adult onset still's disease].the subject was a 22-year-old woman who developed high fever and arthralgias and eruptions in the extremities around june 2005. she sought medical advice at a nearby dermatology clinic, where hepatic dysfunction was noted on blood testing. the patient was thus hospitalized the next day. although crp levels were significantly high, no sign of infection was observed and bone marrow cell differentiation was normal. adult onset still's disease was diagnosed based on the observation of persistent hig ...200616819265
[case of relapsing polychondritis followed by cognitive impairment].a 64-year-old man developed cognitive impairment. a neurological examination showed hypereactive tendon reflex. a cerebrospinal fluid (csf) examination showed a mild increase in both the number of mononuclear cells (14 cells/mm3) and the protein level (45 mg/dl). an electroencephalogram showed diffuse slow wave activity. brain mr images revealed multifocal lesions in the limbic area and white matter regions. he was suspected to have autoimmune encephalitis and his symptoms improved after treated ...200717633109
severe listeria meningoencephalitis in an infliximab-treated patient with crohn's disease. 200817973302
a case of listeria meningoencephalitis complicated by hydrocephalus in an immunocompetent infant.we report a very unusual case of meningoencephalitis due to listeria monocytogenes in a 7-month-old immunocompetent boy. cerebrospinal fluid (csf) culture was initially negative, but was positive on the seventh day. the disease was complicated by seizures and hydrocephalus managed with temporary ventriculostomy. the infant was discharged without obvious neurological sequelae after 30 days and developed without neurological or developmental sequelae at two years of age. listeria is difficult to i ...200918463893
listeria meningoencephalitis in an immunocompetent person.listeria monocytogenes is a small, aerobic or facultative anaerobic, non-sporulating gram positive bacillus that can be isolated from soil, vegetation or animal reservoirs. there are six species of listeria, and only l. monocytogenes is pathogenic for humans. human disease occurs mainly in immunocompromised people, neonates and in pregnancy, while the cases in immunocompetent people are rare. cns manifestations of the disease can be in form of meningitis, encephalitis, and also cerebritis and ab ...200919537672
long-term neuropsychological follow-up of a child with klüver-bucy syndrome.we describe the case of a 10-year-old girl who developed behavioral changes consistent with klüver-bucy syndrome following listeria meningoencephalitis at 2½ years of age. mri at age 4 revealed evidence of diffuse brain atrophy with predominant temporal lobe involvement. electroencephalograpy at 9½ years of age showed abnormal electrical discharges from the left temporal area. follow-up mri with volumetric analysis of the mesial temporal structures at 9 years of age demonstrated decreased hippoc ...201020926352
