abstract: We report two cases of sepsis and meningoencephalitis with listeriosis. They died in despite of administering sensitive antibiotics. A 2 day old girl was admitted to our hospital because of fever and cyanosis. Listeria monocytogenes type 4b was cultured from blood, CSF, throat, urine, ear.
