Listeria monocytogenes is still a very rare opportunist infection in immunosuppressive patients. The clinical-epidemiological and therapeutic characteristics in 10 patients with infection produced by LM are reported--four of them had primary bacteriemia, three patients had a meningeal involvement, there were two patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and one suffered from abdominal access. All of the patients had underlying disorders favouring the infection. Sepsis and meningeal syndrome were the most common presenting forms. Ampicillin was the most used antibiotic. The overall mortality was 40%.
