[ XXXX due to @entity5125 : a new case and review of the literature].

@entity1 @entity5880 @entity449 @entity5125 @entity439 @entity438
INTRODUCTION: Infections due to @entity5125 usually occur in pregnant @entity1 , in the elderly and in immunocompromised @entity1 . @entity438 due to this germ are rare. Only 16 cases have been previously described in the literature. EXEGESIS: We report the case of a @entity1 who had been hospitalized for recurrent fever over the past 3 months. @entity449 was diagnosed; blood and @entity439 cultures revealed Gram-positive bacilli consistent with the presence of @entity5125 . We also review previous reports focusing on infections due to @entity5125 . @entity5880 due to this germ are mainly observed in elderly male @entity1 and occur on large arteries. In the present study, only one @entity1 was immunocompromised. Furthermore, all @entity1 who were not operated on died. CONCLUSION: @entity438 due to Listeria moncytogenes is best managed via surgical resection in combination with antimicrobial therapy. Immunosuppression is not necessary for the development of @entity438 due to Listeria. Bacteriological and histological examinations should be done systematically when surgical resection of an @entity439 is required.
