Abstract
Listeriosis has a variety of clinical manifestations from febrile gastroenteritis to bacteremia, sepsis, meningoencephalitis and infective endocarditis with valvular heart disease. In this report, we present a rare case of successful treatment of infective endocarditis of the mitral valve due to Listeria monocytogenes after previous open-heart surgery.
