[Listeria monocytogenes meningoencephalitis as a possible differential diagnosis of apoplexy].
A 67-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the diagnosis of vascular stroke. Fever and an atypical beginning of the patient being disorientated let us suspect an encephalitis. In the CSF grew listeria monocytogenes. Treatment with Ampicillin intravenously was followed by a sudden relief of the neurological signs. Symptoms and treatment are discussed in referring to the literature.
