10 Listeria Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Convulsions
Convulsions are perhaps one of the more dramatic symptoms and can cause a real panic if they occur. Convulsions are a good indicator that something is very wrong, and that medical assistance should be sought. They are reported in around one-quarter of all listeria cases that show CNS (central nervous system) involvement and are indicative of a particularly serious infection.
Convulsions can be caused by a wide range of things, but you should not waste any time trying to figure out what. If somebody is suffering from convulsions unexpectedly, you should get them to a hospital as soon as possible. Even if it does turn out to be something not serious, it is best to leave the diagnosis to the professionals.
