§<p>Seroconversion rate is given as the percentage of women with a HI titer <1∶10 at inclusion and a titer of 1∶40 or greater at delivery, or showing a significant increase in antibody titer defined as a titer of 1∶10 or greater at inclusion and at least a fourfold increase in titers between inclusion and delivery.</p

Diagnosis and Treatment of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> Endophthalmitis: A Systematic Review

<p><i>Purpose</i>: Describe patient characteristics, treatment, and vision outcomes of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> endophthalmitis, an exceedingly rare form of listeriosis.</p> <p><i>Methods: L. monocytogenes</i> endophthalmitis cases in human adults, located through Medline (32) and from disease surveillance centers (11). <i>L. monocytogenes</i> conjunctivitis and keratitis were excluded.</p> <p><i>Results</i>: Most cases occurred in 2000–2015 (22/43), and almost all in Europe or North America (40/43). Patients were a median 61 years, 57% male (24/42) and half were immunosuppressed. Median days from entering care to diagnosis was 8 (IQR = 5–17). Only four were exogenous infections. <i>L. monocytogenes</i> was identified in 31/35 of anterior eye fluid samples (89%). Antibiotic regimens varied markedly (mostly ≥3 drugs). At diagnosis, most were blind in the affected eye (85%, 28/33), only a third regained normal vision (12/36). Older patients had poorer outcomes.</p> <p><i>Conclusions</i>: Cases increased over time. Diagnostic delays were common and visual impairment often refractory to treatment, especially in older adults. The condition’s rarity and variation in treatment makes it difficult to identify optimum therapy.</p
