Rhombencephalitis by Listeria Monocytogenes in an Immunocompetent Child
A previously healthy 21-month-old girl who presented to the emergency department with 4 days of fever and progressive lethargy, initially computed tomography (CT) scan was normal and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was lymphocyte predominant pleocytosis. Despite medical treatment, she showed a progressive neurological worsening. A new CSF culture showed L. monocytogenes growing and a brain MRI de...
متن کاملSuccessful Weaning After Plasmapheresis Performed in a Patient with Myasthenic Crisis Provoked by Listeria Meningoencephalitis
Infection due to Listeria monocytogenes mostly effects immunocompromized hosts (1,2). Although, viruses usually cause encephalitis and bacterial infections are associated with meningeal inflammation, Listeria monocytogenes is one of the few bacterial microorganisms that may present as a meningoencephalitis and most frequently as a rhombencephalitis (1,2). Listeria rhombencephalitis causes respi...
متن کاملRhombencephalitis Caused by Listeria monocytogenes in Humans and Ruminants: A Zoonosis on the Rise?
Listeriosis is an emerging zoonotic infection of humans and ruminants worldwide caused by Listeria monocytogenes (LM). In both host species, CNS disease accounts for the high mortality associated with listeriosis and includes rhombencephalitis, whose neuropathology is strikingly similar in humans and ruminants. This review discusses the current knowledge about listeric encephalitis, and involve...
متن کاملListeria monocytogenes sequence type 1 is predominant in ruminant rhombencephalitis
Listeria (L.) monocytogenes is an opportunistic pathogen causing life-threatening infections in diverse mammalian species including humans and ruminants. As little is known on the link between strains and clinicopathological phenotypes, we studied potential strain-associated virulence and organ tropism in L. monocytogenes isolates from well-defined ruminant cases of clinical infections and the ...
متن کاملRhombencephalitis by Listeria monocytogenes in a cirrhotic patient: a case report and literature review.
We report a case of rhombencephalitis infection by Listeria monocytogenes in a 66-year-old man with cirrhosis. The CSF analysis indicated L. monocytogenes as the most likely pathogen. Blood and CSF culture were positive to L. monocytogenes and MRI findings were suggestive of rhomboencephalitis. The treatment was started empirically and then modified when the culture results were available. The ...
متن کاملListeria monocytogenes spreads within the brain by actin-based intra-axonal migration.
Listeria monocytogenes rhombencephalitis is a severe progressive disease despite a swift intrathecal immune response. Based on previous observations, we hypothesized that the disease progresses by intra-axonal spread within the central nervous system. To test this hypothesis, neuroanatomical mapping of lesions, immunofluorescence analysis, and electron microscopy were performed on brains of rum...
