Obstetrics and Gynecology
|July 1, 1976
A case of maternal Listeria monocytogenes septicemia at 19 week's gestation is presented. Successful treatment of the mother with ampicillin resulted in remission of maternal symptoms and subsequent term delivery of an unaffected infant, indicating fetal disease is not an inevitable consequence of maternal Listeria sepsis.
