What are the symptoms of listeriosis in a pregnant woman?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 04/16/2019

Although in some cases listeriosis may go unnoticed, the most frequent presenting picture during pregnancy is fever, malaise, meconium, foul-smelling amniotic fluid and having signs of loss of fetal well-being.

If listeriosis in pregnancy remains undetected for more than a week, the consequences for the fetus can be fatal.
