Dimethyl fumarate is an oral treatment used for relapsing- remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). Caution is required in pa- tients with severe lymphocytopenia that persists for more than 6 months. We describe a case of rhombencephalitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes in a patient without severe lymphocytopenia who was treated with dimethyl fumarate.

Abstract

Dimethyl fumarate is an oral treatment used for relapsing- remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). Caution is required in pa- tients with severe lymphocytopenia that persists for more than 6 months. We describe a case of rhombencephalitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes in a patient without severe lymphocytopenia who was treated with dimethyl fumarate.
