LOPEZ MONTES, A. et al. Meningoencephalitis by Listeria in the lupus disease. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2005, vol.22, n.8, pp.379-382. ISSN 0212-7199.
We present a patient with lupus nephropathy of 20 years of evolution in treatment with oral steroids who developed a meningoencephalitis associated to bacteraemia by Listeria monocytogenes. The patient was treated successfully with gentamicin and ampicillin for 6 weeks. Infection by Listeria monocytogenes occurs more frequently in individuals with some form of immunedeficiency like lupus disease , with a mortality around 30%.
