  • Title: Major role of levofloxacin in the treatment of a case of Listeria monocytogenes meningitis.
    Author: Viale P, Furlanut M, Cristini F, Cadeo B, Pavan F, Pea F.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2007 May; 58(1):137-9. PubMed ID: 17368798.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of acute bacterial meningitis due to Listeria monocytogenes whose successful treatment was mainly attributable to high-dose levofloxacin therapy (500 mg iv bid). This supports the hypothesis that levofloxacin may be an effective option for the treatment of listerial meningitis.
