Cutaneous infections due to Listeria monocytogenes are rare. Typically, infections manifest as nonpainful, nonpruritic, self-limited, localized, papulopustular or vesiculopustular eruptions in healthy persons. Most cases follow direct inoculation of the skin in veterinarians or farmers who have exposure to animal products of conception. Less commonly, skin lesions may arise from hematogenous dissemination in compromised hosts with invasive disease. Here, we report the first case in a gardener that occurred following exposure to soil and vegetation.
由于李斯特菌引起的皮肤感染较为罕见。通常情况下，感染表现为无疼痛、无瘙痒、自限性、局限性、丘疹脓疱或水疱脓疱性皮疹，发生于健康人群。大多数病例是在兽医或接触动物胎盘的农民中，由于皮肤直接接种而引起的。不常见的情况下，皮肤病变可能由于侵袭性疾病的宿主有缺陷而导致血行播散引起。在这里，我们报告了首例园丁在接触土壤和植被后发生的病例。
