What is the management of suspected Listeria febrile gastroenteritis in an otherwise healthy adult?

Clinical Scenario

This protocol addresses an otherwise healthy adult presenting with suspected Listeria febrile gastroenteritis who falls into a low-risk group: not pregnant, not immunocompromised, and not a neonate.

Risk Profile

The patient has none of the high-risk features that would alter management. Key confirmed absences:

Not pregnant Not immunocompromised Not a neonate Otherwise healthy Low-risk group
