title: Chorioamnionitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes: a case report of ultrasound features of fetal infection.
abstract: Maternal listeriosis is often associated with mild symptoms for the patient, but fetal infection can lead to severe adverse perinatal outcome. The most described antenatal symptoms are reduced fetal movements and an abnormal fetal heart rate trace. We present a case of fetal listeriosis suspected by ultrasound findings of fetal gastrointestinal compromise, neonatal diagnosis and outcome.
