ABSTRACT

La Listeria monocytogenes es un bacilo o cocobacilo grampositivo, móvil, anaerobio, facultativo e intracelular que se adapta a los cambios ambientales extremos. Se transmite por alimentos contaminados. Infecta a recién nacidos, pacientes inmunosuprimidos, adultos mayores y mujeres embarazadas. Se la ha asociado con una elevada mortalidad fetal o neonatal. Puede cursar con un cuadro sintomático leve y autolimitado, pseudogripal inespecífico o tener graves repercusiones maternas y fetales. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente primigesta con embarazo de 19 semanas y corioamnionitis por Listeria monocytogenes. El tratamiento antibiótico iniciado oportunamente es fundamental para lograr la mejoría de la evolución materno-fetal y revertir el cuadro.


Listeria monocytogenes is a Grampositive bacillus or coco-bacillus, mobile, anaerobic facultative and intracellular that adapts to extreme environmental changes. It is transmitted by contaminated food. It infects newborns, immunosuppressed patients, older adults and pregnant women. It has been associated with high fetal or neonatal mortality. May present with a mild and self-limiting condition, non-specific pseudo-flu condition or have serious maternal or fetal repercussions. We present the clinical case of a primiparous patient with a 19-week pregnancy and chorioamnionitis due to Listeria monocytogenes. The antibiotic treatment of opportune initiation is fundamental to achieve the improvement of the maternal-fetal evolution and to revert the clinical profile.
