Abstract
|
|
|
It is well known that Listeria monocytogenes may cause meningitis in the immunocompromised host. We experienced 2 cases of L. monocytogenes meningitis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The confirmation was made by CSF culture and
identification of pathogen. In both cases, third-generation cephalosporins were given before the identification of pathogen but no clinical improvement was found. Following the substitution cephalosporin by ampicillin, one patient died and the
other
recovered without any CNA compilcation.
