Listeria monocytogenes infections in hematopoietic cell transplant recipients: clinical manifestations and risk factors: A multinational retrospective case control study of the Infectious Diseases Working Party (IDWP) of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT)

CONCLUSIONS: HCT patients have an increased risk for listeriosis compared to general population. Listeriosis cause severe disease with septic shock and mortality. Neurolisteriosis can present with non-specific signs and normal imaging. Lymphocytopenia and non-first HCT are associated with increased risk of listeriosis; cotrimoxazole was not protective.PMID:38621480 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtct.2024.04.008
