单核细胞增生李斯特菌是免疫功能低下患者、老年人、孕妇和移植患者的重要细菌病原体，但迄今为止尚未报道其在肺移植中的作用。我们报告的第一个案例中，肺移植受者谁提出了胸腔积液8天后移植。在引入胸腔引流管和静脉注射抗生素3周后，患者完全康复。本病例强调了肺移植患者罕见呼吸道感染的风险增加，并探讨了胸膜炎的具体管理。
Listeria monocytogenes is an important bacterial pathogen in immunocompromised patients, the elderly, pregnant women and transplant patients, but until now it has not been reported in lung transplants. We report the first case of listeriosis in a lung transplant recipient who presented with a pleural effusion 8 days after transplantation. After the introduction of a thorax drain and the administration of intravenous antibiotics during 3 weeks, the patient recovered completely. This case highlights the increased risk for uncommon respiratory infections in lung transplant patients and examines the specific management of listeria pleuritis.
