Overview

L monocytogenes can often be cultured from the blood, and always cultured from the CSF. There are no reliable serological or stool tests.

Diagnosis

Laboratory tests may be done to detect the bacteria in amniotic fluid, blood, feces, and urine. A CSF culture may be performed.Note: There is no way, without testing, to know if meningitis is due to listeria or another cause.
