Overview

History and Symptoms

  • In infants, symptoms of listeriosis may be seen in the first few days of life and may include:
  • Late-appearing infection in the infant (symptoms appear age 5 days or older) and infection in children is often seen as meningitis. In adults, the disease may take many forms depending on what organ or organ systems are infected. It may occur as meningitis, pneumonia, septicemia, and endocarditis, or in milder form as abscesses, skin lesion, and conjunctivitis. If a pregnant woman becomes infected, it can lead to:
  • Stillbirth
  • Death of a newborn within a few hours of birth
