Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes peritonitis developed in a 67-year-old man on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis following a catered luncheon. Alcoholic liver disease was a predisposing factor. L. monocytogenes multiplies at 4 degrees C. It is often present in imported soft cheese, less often in chicken and other refrigerated food. Listeria peritonitis has not been previously reported in Australia.
