“…Experience with neonates suggests that the disease may be communicable and, therefore, it is probably advisable to isolate infected patients.14 The early mortality rate for listeria meningitis was 65% but with the advent of antibiotics is 450/,.17 Occasional patients recovered without any antibiotic therapy. 6 The organism has variable sensitivity to antibiotics. It is usually sensitive to penicillin, erythromycin, streptomycin, tetracyclines and sulfonamides although some strains may be resistant to any one of these antibiotics.…”

A patient with acute leukemia who developed Listeria monocytogenes meningitis on two occasions is reported. During the first episode he was able to respond with adequate granulocytes in his cerebrospinal fluid; he recovered on antibiotic therapy. The second episode occurred when he was severely granulocytopenic and he died of his infection. This apparently is the first reported case of recurrent listeria meningitis.

“…The last reported occurrence in this country of meningitis due to this organism was in 1938 (Wright and Macgregor, 1939). This indicates an extreme degree of rarity of human listeriosis which is borne out by most British and American authors-for example, Webb and Barber (1937), Kaplan (1945), and Finegold et al (1954)-but not by German authors, as is pointed out by Murray (1955). In this survey, Murray shows that German writers-for example, Potel (1951), Erdmann and Potel (1953), and many others-list some 150 published cases throughout the world, many of them in Germany, since the organism was first isolated and studied in 1924 by Murray, Webb, and Swann (1926).…”
