Description
Listeria monocytogenes peritonitis in a patient with cirrhosis and simultaneous soft tissue infection is reported. Six previously documented cases are reviewed. All seven patients were bacteremic, suggesting hematogenous seeding to the peritoneum as the pathogenic mechanism. Clinical and laboratory characteristics of L. monocytogenes peritonitis are compared with peritonitis of other bacterial etiologies.
