Abstract
Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy and the long-term use of prednisone can impair immunity. Listeria monocytogenes can cause invasive infections in these immunocompromised patients with a lower number of microorganisms. This can lead to central nervous system infections which may have similar initial clinical presentations to ischemic stroke.
