Early-Onset Listeriosis in Prematurity : A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Listeria monocytogenes has been known for several decades, but its infection of newborn infants has been rarely reported in Taiwan. We here report a case of a premature newborn with a gestational age of 31 3/7 weeks and a birth body weight of 1,070 gm, who was found to have early-onset Listeria sepsis, pneumonia and suspected meningitis. Unexpected meconium stained amniotic fluid was found at birth. After treatment with ampicillin and gentamicin, her condition improved gradually. She was discharged on the 59th day with a body weight of 2,712 gm, and complete eradication of the Listeria infection. (Clinical Neonatology 1998;5(1): 32-34)
