In this paper, a 25-year-old female patient, immunocompetent, with Listeria monocytogenes meningoventriculitis is presented. The
patient gave no response to initial ceftriaxone therapy. Listeria monocytogenes grew in her cerebrospinal fluid culture. Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a high signal consistent with ventriculitis. The patient was successfully treated with gentamycin
and ampicilllin-sulbactam combination. Listeria monocytogenes should be considered in immuncompetant patients with purulent
meningitis no responsive for appropriate antibiotherapy.
