    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 2008 Nov; 136(11):1453-6. PubMed ID: 19301777.
    Abstract:
    Ascitic and pleural fluids infection by Listeria monocytogenes is uncommon. The association of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and empyema caused by this microorganism has been seldom reported. A 61-year-old male with an alcoholic cirrhosis and an upper right lobectomy for a lung cancer, consulted because of an exacerbation of dyspnea, abdominal pain and fever. Listeria-monocytogenes was isolated from ascitic and pleural fluids and from blood cultures. He was successfully treated with ampicillin and a chest tube for drainage.
