    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neurology
    • Obstetrics & Gynecology

    Background:

    • Listeria monocytogenes commonly causes meningitis in pregnant and immunocompromised individuals.
    • Maternal listeric meningitis is a rare but serious condition with limited reporting in English literature.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of maternal listeric meningitis are presented.
    • The study reviews the diagnosis and treatment of meningitis, specifically in pregnant women.

    Findings:

    • Listeric meningitis in pregnancy is an underreported clinical entity.
    • Ampicillin and gentamicin combination therapy is suggested for initial management of bacterial meningitis during pregnancy.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering Listeria monocytogenes in pregnant women with meningitis.
    • Provides a recommended initial antibiotic regimen for suspected bacterial meningitis in pregnancy.
    • Emphasizes the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
