Abstract
Central nervous system infections caused by Listeria monocytogenes produce
a wide range of clinical symptoms which include cerebral abscesses, meningi
tis and nonmeningitic parenchymal cerebritis. A case study is presented of
early listeriosis with signs of meningitis accompanied with septicemia and
complicated with severe hydrocephalus.
