Abstract
A 43-year-old black man with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with chemotherapy developed painful swelling of the 4th finger determined to be due to Listeria monocytogenes osteomyelitis. He recovered with 6 weeks' treatment with oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Osteoarticular infections due to Listeria monocytogenes are reviewed.
