Listeria septicaemia and meningitis in a neonate: case report.
We report the first case of neonatal septicaemia and meningitis in Trinidad due to Listeria three days after blood transfusion. It is important to be aware of the organism in foods and patients. Modern methods of isolation and identification will be of invaluable assistance in future recognition of the organism.
