We report a young male IVDA with CAH caused by HBV who was infected with HIV and who contracted listeriosis in the form of acute hepatitis and bacteremia, with epithelioid granulomas in the liver. Treatment with ampicillin and a aminoglycoside for 3 weeks was followed by rapid and maintained improvement. Involvement of the liver is unusual in listeriosis and, as far as we are aware, it has not been described previously in patients with HIV infection.
