title: Rhabdomyolysis and listeria monocytogenes.
abstract: Non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis occurs as a complication of a wide variety of infections and is often discovered as a result of the associated renal failure. We report a case of meningitis due to Listeria monocytogenes, an uncommon cause of infection in adults which was associated with rhabdomyolysis. This confirms a recent first case report of this association.
