Focus on Listeriosis
25/10/2021 What is Listeriosis Listeriosis is an infectious disease with a worldwide distribution caused by Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes). Until 1960, listeriosis was rarely reported; starting in 1980, thousands of cases began to be reported annually around the world, demonstrating the great attention created after the infection was associated with the consumption of contaminated food. The main mode of infection is represented, in 98% of cases,...Continue
Listeriosis in Pregnancy
25/10/2021 In pregnant women, in which hormonal changes make the immune system more susceptible, listeriosis occurs in asymptomatic or mild form, but can cause, in severe cases, miscarriage, stillbirth of the fetus, premature birth and neonatal infections. Listeriosis can occur at any time during pregnancy but has been most frequently documented during the third trimester. Symptoms may not be specific and can often manifest only as a flu-like syndrome (feve...Continue
Newborn Listeriosis
25/10/2021 Contrary to the mild symptoms of maternal listeriosis, neonatal infection caused by L. monocytogenes is a serious, often fatal disease. Neonatal listeriosis is divided into two clinical forms, early and late onset. Early onset: it occurs in newborns infected in utero within the first week of birth, often within the first 24 to 48 hours. 45-70% of neonatal listeriosis is early onset. The transmission route is transplacental, with miliary dissem...Continue
