First Trimester Listeria monocytogenes Septicemia

摘要

Background: Little is known about fetal outcome after Listeria monocytogenes septicemia in the first trimester of pregnancy. Case: A primigravida with L. monocytogenes septicemia at 9 weeks gestation was treated with amoxicillin. At 40 weeks gestation a healthy female infant was born. Conclusion: This case shows that fetal outcome can be normal after appropriate treatment of maternal L. monocytogenes septicemia during embryogenesis.
