RESUMEN
La bacteriemia por L. monocytogenes es una entidad poco frecuente que se relaciona con edad avanzada o neoplasias; su mortalidad es elevada. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir las características epidemiológicas, clínicas y terapéuticas de esta bacteriemia, mediante un análisis descriptivo retrospectivo de los casos con hemocultivos positivos del Hospital de Calatayud, entre 2008 y 2018. De los 4 casos identificados, todos se produjeron en los últimos 3 años analizados, la edad era superior a la de otros trabajos y los factores de riesgo y la mortalidad fueron similares a los de estos. La prevención y la detección precoz son fundamentales para controlar el aumento de esta entidad
ABSTRACT
Bacteraemia due to L. monocytogenes is a sporadic disease related to advanced age or neoplasms, and mortality associated with this disease is high. This study aims to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutics characteristics of this specific disease, through a retrospective descriptive analysis of cases with positive blood cultures from Calatayud Hospital, from 2008 to 2018. Four cases were detected, all of them occurred in the last 3 years analysed, and the age was greater than the age published in other papers. However, risk factors and mortality were similar. Prevention and early detection are essential to control the increase in this pathology
