Arch Hellen Med, 38(1), January-February 2021, 99-100 CASE REPORT Bacteremia caused by Listeria innocua in a patient with hairy leukemia M. Demetriou, V. Papaemmanouil |
Listeria innocua is known to be a widespread environmental and foodborne pathogen. However, it is extremely unusual to be related with human infection. To our knowledge there is only one more clinical case of Listeria innocua bacteremia that has been described with a fatal outcome. A rare clinical case of bloodstream infection is reported here. The hematological 70-year-old patient was treated with proper antibiotic therapy and the infection was controlled.
Key words: Bacteremia, Immunodeficiency, Listeria innocua.
