ABSTRACT
Listeriosis is a rare but extremely dangerous infection for both mother and fetus. This pathogen can spread in humans' bodies by consumption of contaminated food. The main high-risk groups of people for being infected are immunosuppressed and especially pregnant women. We present a case of materno-neonatal listeriosis illustrating that empiric antimicrobial therapy of chorioamnionitis during labor and neonate postpartum can also cover listeriosis which was not diagnosed prior to obtaining cultures.
