[Listeria monocytogenes meningitis (author's transl)].
Listeria monocytogenes meningitis was observed in a 24-year-old obese patient. Morphology and serology of CSF bacterial isolates indicated beta-haemolytic streptococci group B first. However, further differentiation permitted certain classification as Listeria monocytogenes serovar 4b. Treatment with erythromycin (2 g/d) and gentamicin (40 mg t.i.d.) led to rapid improvement of clinical symptoms.
