lüll Listeria monocytogenes following orthotopic liver transplantation: central nervous system involvement and review of the literature Mizuno S; Zendejas IR; Reed AI; Kim RD; Howard RJ; Hemming AW; Schain DC; Soldevila-Pico C; Firpi RJ; Fujita SWorld J Gastroenterol 2007[Aug]; 13 (32): 4391-3Listeria monocytogene is a well-recognized cause of bacteremia in immunocompromised individuals, including solid organ transplant recipients, but has been rarely reported following orthotopic liver transplantation. We describe a case of listeria meningitis that occurred within a week after liver transplantation. The patient developed a severe headache that mimicked tacrolimus encephalopathy, and was subsequently diagnosed with listeria meningitis by cerebrospinal fluid culture. The infection was successfully treated with three-week course of intravenous ampicillin. Recurrent hepatitis C followed and was successfully treated with interferon alfa and ribavirin. Fourteen cases of listeriosis after orthotopic liver transplantation have been reported in the English literature. Most reported cases were successfully treated with intravenous ampicillin. There were four cases of listeria meningitis, and the mortality of them was 50%. Early detection and treatment of listeria meningitis are the key to obtaining a better prognosis.|*Listeria monocytogenes[MESH]|Ampicillin/therapeutic use[MESH]|Anti-Bacterial Agents/therapeutic use[MESH]|Central Nervous System/microbiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Liver Transplantation/*adverse effects[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Meningitis, Listeria/*diagnosis/drug therapy/*etiology[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH] |
