A listeria infection or listeriosis is an infection caused by a bacteria known as Listeria monocytogenes. It mainly affects newborn infants, elderly patients, pregnant women and patients who have low immunity. Listeria can be spread by several methods. A common cause is ingestion (food-borne transmission) of unpasteurized milk or contaminated vegetables. It can also be transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy or directly to the newborn at the time of delivery. Listeriosis can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the person and the part of the body affected. Pregnant women typically have only fever and other flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue and muscle aches. However, infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn, including generalized infection (sepsis) or inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain (meningitis). Sometimes listeriosis involves many organs and presents with masses filled with pus (microabscesses or granulomas). Older children with Listeria infections frequently develop meningitis. Treatment include antibiotics such as ampicillin and aminoglycosides.
MalaCards based summary : Listeriosis, also known as listeria infection, is related to meningitis and leukomalacia, and has symptoms including fever, vomiting and back pain. An important gene associated with Listeriosis is ACTA1 (Actin Alpha 1, Skeletal Muscle), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Colorectal Cancer Metastasis and Dendritic Cells Developmental Lineage Pathway. The drugs Amoxicillin and Ampicillin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include t cells, brain and liver. Disease Ontology : 12 A primary bacterial infectious disease that results in infection, has material basis in Listeria monocytogenes, which is transmitted by ingestion of contaminated food or raw milk or transmitted by congenital method. Ingestion of Listeria by pregnant women has symptom nausea, has symptom vomiting, has symptom diarrhea, has symptom fever, has symptom malaise, has symptom back pain, and has symptom headache. Maternal infection with Listeria can result in chorioamnionitis, premature labor, spontaneous abortion, or stillbirth. MedlinePlus : 44 Listeriosis is a foodborne illness caused by Listeria monocytogenes, bacteria found in soil and water. It can be in a variety of raw foods as well as in processed foods and foods made from unpasteurized milk. Listeria is unlike many other germs because it can grow even in the cold temperature of the refrigerator. Symptoms include fever and chills, headache, upset stomach and vomiting. Treatment is with antibiotics. Anyone can get the illness. But it is most likely to affect pregnant women and unborn babies, older adults, and people with weak immune systems. To reduce your risk Use precooked and ready-to-eat foods as soon as you can Avoid raw milk and raw milk products Heat ready-to-eat foods and leftovers until they are steaming hot Wash fresh fruits and vegetables Avoid rare meat and refrigerated smoked seafood Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC : 3 Get answers to commonly asked questions about Listeria Wikipedia : 77 Listeriosis is a bacterial infection most commonly caused by Listeria monocytogenes, although... more... |
