Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is one of the important causes of neonatal sepsis and listerial neonatal infection manifests in two forms : Early-onset sepsis syndrome, associated with spontaneous abortion, still birth, preterm labor, granulomatosis infantiseptica, respiratory distress, sepsis, hemodynamic compromise and late-onset listerosis mainly associated with meningitis. Cases of neonatal listerosis reported in Korea have been rare and all were full term newborns. We, herein, report a case of early-onset sepsis due to L. monocytogenes in a extremely low birth weight infant who were born in a critical condition and succumbed in the second day of life despite the intensive care.

저자들은 재태기간 26주에 조기 진통으로 분만 후 사망한 초극소 저출생 체중아에서 L. monocytogenes에 의한 패혈증과 이에 의한 사망을 관찰하였기에 이를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
