title: [A case of Listeria monocytogenes sepsis in an elderly who survived].
abstract: A 81-year-old man who complained of fever and disturbance of consciousness was admitted to our hospital. Listeria monocytogenes type 1/2aA was cultured from only the blood. He was treated with gamma-globrine and sensitive antibiotics (PAPM/BP, EM) immediately after admission, and recovered in spite of multiple organ failure due to septic shock. He was not an immunocompromised host and did not have complication of meningitis, but had rhabdomyolysis and liver dysfunction.
