This report examines two cases of @entity4767 by @entity5125 (L.m.). Both cases show that listeriosis is not only a differential diagnosis of @entity693 , but can also be the cause of an isolated @entity3308 with normal cerebrospinal fluid cell count. The prognosis depends crucially on the early antibiotic therapy ( @entity869 ). The first @entity1 was a chronic alcoholic. He died of fulminant @entity326 and @entity693 with @entity3308 (cell count of cerebrospinal fluid: 10500/microliters). L.m. was isolated from blood cultures and from cerebrospinal fluid. The second @entity1 had no indications of preexisting @entity1200 . Two days after perianal injections for haemorrhoids, symptoms of a progredient @entity3308 developed. The cell count of cerebrospinal fluid was only 10/mu, but L.m. was isolated from blood cultures. The @entity1 died of @entity1457 . At autopsy, a @entity3308 and cerebellitis with @entity32 of the surrounding leptomeninx was identified.
