Abstract
This case introduces an unusual cutaneous manifestation of a potentially life-threatening infection. The circumstances of the inoculation are key to explaining both the cutaneous signs and how an individual who does not belong to what would be considered a conventional 'at risk' group developed systemic infection. However, cutaneous infection with listeria monocytogenes could be considered an occupational hazard for those working with livestock.
