Listeria monocytogenes in a young patient with non Hodgkin's lymphoma: Case report

Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular food-borne pathogen, widely distributed in the environment, which rarely causes clinical infection in healthy people, but may cause severe disease in immunocompromised patients. A case of listeriosis is certified in an immunocompromised patient, thus confirming this microorganism to be an opportunistic human pathogen. Copyright © by Biolife, s.a.s.
