Resumen
VELEZ LEAL, Juan Luis y DAVILA RAMIREZ, Fabián. Neonatal Listeriosis in Colombia... Same as Twenty Years Ago?. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.2, pp.301-308. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/10.12804/revsalud13.02.2015.11.
Case: The case is presented including maternal history, clinical and laboratory findings that led to diagnosis, paraclinical monitoring of the infection, the established treatment and outcomes in neonatal death.A review of national and international literature on infectious and epidemiology characteristics of L.-monocytogenes infection, and its clinical presentation and implications during the gestational and the neonatal period was made. Discussion: Neonatal listeriosis is a high fatality disease whose epidemiology is not clearly described at the national and regional levels, hindering the development of prevention strategies in high-risk groups.We suggest this infection becomes a notifiable event to allow the identification of risk factors, lethality, usual presentation and outcome of this infectious disease in Colombia.
