“…Listeria meningitis has developed during therapy with cephalosporins (17). In immunocompromised patients, therapy should be prolonged since treatment for listeriosis for less than 2 weeks leads to a high incidence of relapse (15,18). In the present case, intravenous amoxicillin for 20 days was given in place of cefotiam and the treatment was successful.…”

“…Nevertheless, listeriosis remains a relatively rare AIDS-associated infection, probably due to the preventive dietary measures taken by HIV-infected patients (avoidance of high-risk foods), the antimicrobial treatments that they receive regularly to treat or prevent opportunistic infections, and the fact that HIV infection does not significantly reduce the activity of the major effectors of immunity of Listeria spp. (innate immune mechanisms and the CD8 ϩ T-cell subset [266]) (35,306,316,592). The health status of the patient greatly influences the outcome of listeriosis.…”
