Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli were isolated from blood c ollected on presentation and tissue samples taken postmortem. Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid collected antemor tem. The importance of passive transfer of immunity, the subtlety of n eurologic signs in early meningitis, and considering blood-CSF penetra tion in antimicrobial selection are discussed.
