listeriosis, bacteremia, immunosupresion, infectionAbstract
Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures from a 54-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-positive male with lymphoblastic leukemia. The leukemic condition and its immunodeficient syndrome aggravated the clinical picture that led to the death of the patient. The clinical picture and the underlying conditions that favored the course of the bacterial infection are analyzed, and the laboratory tests that made it possible to find the underlying causal agent.
