%X Meningoencephalitis secondary to <em>Listeria monocytogenes</em> (<em>L. monocytogenes</em>) mainly affects newborns, the elderly and immunocompromised people; there are extremely rare cases in which said infection occurs in immunocompetent individuals. We present the case of a young adult patient without immunocompromise, who developed meningoencephalitis due to <em>L. monocytogenes</em>; This case is exceptional, since it occurred in an individual outside the classic age group, in addition to not having risk factors, which is why it should be considered an atypical causal agent.
