Abstract
Lysteriosis accounts for 7% of the neonatal infections It can affect the mother-child couple during pregnancy. I can produce abortion, premature birth, in utero death o severe neonatal infection. Lysteriosis in pregnant women is difficult to diagnose because in most of the cases it has treacherous clinical forms. A febrile episode during abortion or birth, disappearing rapidly after delivery is suggestive for lysteriosis. Any febrile episode without an obvious reason must be suspected as lysteriosis and must be investigated by repeated hemocultures. Aminopenicillins associated or not with aminoglicosides are the first choice antibiotics in lysteriosis.
