Cerebrospinal fluid inflammatory markers in patients with Listeria monocytogenes meningitis

Conclusions Our data suggest that T-cell activation, complement activation, interferon- and endothelial growth factor production are important in the immune response to Listeria meningitis, and thereby influence outcome. General significance Our study provides target pathways for further studies in the pathophysiology of Listeria meningitis.
