Overview
The findings on the physical examination depend on the clinical manifestation of listeriosis. Common findings include fever, tachycardia, pallor, and abdominal tenderness. Signs of neurological involvement may include altered mental state, paralysis, respiratory failure, and coma.
Physical Examination
