Listeriosis is associated with different clinical [[syndromes]]; therefore, it should be differentiated from a wide range of diseases.

Overview

Listeriosis is associated with more than one clinical syndrome. It must be differentiated from other infections that cause fever and systemic/localized symptoms (either CNS disease, gastroenteritis, genitourinary disease, endocarditis, or bacteremia), such as E. coli, Neisseria spp., Streptococcus spp., Stephylococcus spp., Shigella, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Serratia spp., or Haemophilus spp., mononucleosis, or tuberculosis. Differential diagnosis of listeriosis additionally includes hematologic malignancies (such as leukemia or lymphoma), thyroid disease, drug fever, vasculitides, or rheumatologic diseases.

Differential Diagnosis

The differential diagnosis of listeriosis includes the following:
