ABSTRACT
Meningitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes is a rare affection it develops from close contagion as professional illness (veterinarians, butchers) or in newborns by infected mothers; in indirect way for ingestion of contaminated food in subjects at high risk elderly, immunosuppressed patients, alcoholics, diabetics. Clinically it is not diversified from the other bacterial meningitises. In this paper we present a case of Listeria monocytogenes meningitis in an adult female, without a sure occasion of infection and in absence of the factors of typical risk.
