| listeriosis. | four patients with listeria monocytogenes infection are presented; three of whom had associated lymphoproliferative disorders. two of the four patients had listeria meningitis. meningitis is the most common manifestation of listeriosis in humans. specific diagnosis depends on demonstrating listeria monocytogenes in the cerebral spinal fluid; differentiation from other forms of acute meningitis cannot be made clinically. although listeriosis is recognized as a major global problem in both human a ... | 1976 | 817600 |
| disease presentation in relation to infection foci for non-pregnancy-associated human listeriosis in england and wales, 2001 to 2007. | listeriosis is a rare but severe food-borne disease, affecting unborn or newly delivered infants, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. the epidemiology of listeriosis in england and wales changed between 2001 and 2007, with more patients > or = 60 years old presenting with bacteremia (but without central nervous system [cns] involvement). in order to explain this increase and understand the altered disease presentation, clinical, microbiological, and seasonal data on bacteremic cases of liste ... | 2009 | 19675217 |
| human listeriosis in england, 2001-2007: association with neighbourhood deprivation. | listeriosis is a rare but severe food-borne disease that predominantly affects pregnant women, the unborn, newborns, the elderly and immunocompromised people. despite the high mortality rate of the disease, its socio-economic determinants have not been studied in detail, meaning that health inequalities that might exist in relation to this disease are not apparent. laboratory surveillance data on listeriosis cases reported in england between 2001 and 2007 were linked to indices of deprivation an ... | 2010 | 20630146 |
| concurrent conditions and human listeriosis, england, 1999-2009. | the epidemiology of listeriosis in england and wales changed during 2001-2008; more patients ≥60 years of age had bacteremia than in previous years. to investigate these changes, we calculated risk for listeriosis by concurrent condition for non-pregnancy-associated listeriosis cases reported to the national surveillance system in england during 1999-2009. conditions occurring with l. monocytogenes infection were coded according to the international classification of diseases, 10th revision, and ... | 2011 | 21192852 |
