Listeria monocytogens in Perianal Abscess
Received Date: Apr 01, 2023 / Accepted Date: Apr 28, 2023 / Published Date: Apr 28, 2023
Abstract
In healthy adults and children, Listeria monocytogenes can cause mild, self-limiting gastrointestinal infections. However, people with underlying conditions may contract serious, potentially fatal infections like meningitis and bacteremia. A 60-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis developed abdominal pain and a fever, and it turned out that she had a L. Monocytogenes perianal abscess. A recent epidemiological study found that the presence of cirrhosis may also be a risk factor for the development of invasive disease.
