Listeria is an unusual pathogen that causes neonatal infection with high morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a premature newborn whose mother had a rash during pregnancy; the newborn had severe early sepsis because of Listeria monocytogenes and histopathologically suggestive findings of the placenta. Obstetricians and neonatologists should suspect listeriosis in cases with compatible epidemiological history, clinical features, and examination findings of the placenta.
李斯特菌是一种不寻常的病原体，可导致新生儿感染，发病率和死亡率很高。我们报告一例早产新生儿病例，其母亲在孕期出现皮疹；该新生儿因单核细胞增生李斯特菌感染而发生严重的早期败血症，胎盘的组织病理学检查结果也提示存在感染。对于具有相关流行病学史、临床特征以及胎盘检查结果相符的病例，产科医生和新生儿科医生应怀疑李斯特菌病。
