We present a patient with lupus nephropathy of 20 years of evolution in treatment with oral steroids who developed a meningoencephalitis associated to bacteraemia by Listeria monocytogenes. The patient was treated successfully with gentamicin and ampicillin for 6 weeks. Infection by Listeria monocytogenes occurs more frequently in individuals with some form of immunodeficiency like lupus disease, with a mortality around 30%.

Presentamos un caso de una paciente con nefropatía lúpica de 20 años de evolución en tratamiento con esteroides que desarrolló una meningoencefalitis asociada a bacteriemia por Listeria monocytogenes. La paciente recibió tratamiento antibiótico con ampicilina y gentamicina durante 6 semanas con excelentes resultados. La infección por Listeria monocytogenes afecta predominantemente a pacientes con cierto grado de inmunosupresión, como pacientes con lupus eritematoso sistémico, con una mortalidad alrededor del 30%

En nuestro entorno sanitario, la vacunación del adulto no recibe las mismas prioridades que la infantil. Esta situación se debe en gran parte a una falta de planificación de la vacunación y a una formación inadecuada sobre las indicaciones, beneficios y disponibilidad de la vacunación en el adulto, así como a una sobrevaloración de sus efectos secundarios y contraindicaciones (AU)
