title: [Listeriosis in patients with malignant hemopathy. 3 cases in the same hospital ward].
abstract: During the listeriosis epidemic which occurred in France in the summer 1992, three patients with malignant haematopathies hospitalized in our service contracted the disease. Although the retrospective investigations were hindered by the variable incubation period and the impossibility of examining the foods eaten at the time of infection, there was a high probability that two of the patients had been infected by cooked ham and dairy products at home. The third patient was apparently infected in hospital with well-cooked food found to be contaminated. The hypothesis of coinfection has been raised.
