  https://www.pasteur.fr/en/medical-center/disease-sheets/listeriosis?language=fr

  Listeriosis is a severe foodborne infection caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. It can cause septicemia or central nervous system infections. In pregnant women, it can lead to miscarriage, premature delivery or serious neonatal infection. […] The incubation period for listeriosis can range from a few days to two months. There is a non-invasive form of listeriosis, which affects people in good health. It causes non-specific symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, muscle pain and headache. […] The second form, described as invasive (since the bacteria do not remain in the digestive tract), mainly affects vulnerable and immunocompromised people, like pregnant women, infants, elderly people, people with cancer and transplant recipients. In adults, the disease causes an infection of the blood (septicemia) or even the central nervous system, manifesting mainly as meningoencephalitis (an infection of the membranes, or meninges, covering the brain, and the brain itself).

  Listeriosis is a series of diseases caused by the bacteria L. monocytogenes, outbreaks of which occur in all countries. […] Noninvasive listeriosis (febrile listerial gastroenteritis) is a mild form of the disease affecting mainly otherwise healthy people. Symptoms include diarrhoea, fever, headache and myalgia (muscle pain). The incubation period is short (a few days). […] Invasive listeriosis is a more severe form of the disease and affects certain high risk groups of the population. These include pregnant women, patients undergoing treatment for cancer, HIV and organ transplants, elderly people and infants. This form of disease is characterized by severe symptoms and a high mortality rate (2030%). The symptoms include fever, myalgia (muscle pain), septicemia, meningitis. The incubation period is usually one to two weeks but can vary between a few days and up to 90 days.

• #1 Listeria infection – Symptoms & causes – Mayo Clinic

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/listeria-infection/symptoms-causes/syc-20355269

  Symptoms of a listeria infection partly depend on where in the body that the infection happens. If it affects the gut, you might have: Loose stools, called diarrhea. Upset stomach. Vomiting. These symptoms often start within a day of eating tainted food. They tend to go away within a few days. […] The germs that cause a listeria infection also can spread through the blood and into the brain and spinal cord. If this happens, you might have: Fever and chills. Flu-like symptoms such as muscle aches and fatigue. Diarrhea or an upset stomach. Headache. Stiff neck. Confusion or changes in alertness. Loss of balance. Seizures. These symptoms often start within two weeks of eating tainted food. But it can take up to two months for symptoms to begin. […] During pregnancy, a listeria infection is likely to cause only mild symptoms in the pregnant person. But the effects on the baby can be devastating. The baby can die in the womb or have a life-threatening infection within a few days of birth. […] Symptoms of a listeria infection in a newborn can be subtle. But they can include: Little interest in feeding. Crankiness. High temperature, called fever, or low temperature, called hypothermia. Vomiting. Trouble breathing. Little to no energy. Low birth weight.

  Not everyone infected with Listeria will develop symptoms. Symptoms could include diarrhea, fever, muscle pain, joint pain, headache, stiff neck, backache, chills, sensitivity to bright light, and/or sore throat with fever and swollen glands. These symptoms can begin days to weeks after eating contaminated food. […] Pregnancies affected by or exposed to Listeria can have an increased chance of infection in the uterus, preterm delivery (birth before week 37) or low birth weight (weighing less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces (2500 grams) at birth. Severe infection can increase the chance of stillbirth. […] Newborn babies infected with Listeria can develop either early-onset or late-onset listeriosis. Early onset listeriosis develops 1-2 days after birth, and the baby often has signs of a serious bacterial infection. Late-onset listeriosis occurs 1-2 weeks after birth and usually includes symptoms of meningitis (a condition that causes areas of swelling around the brain and spinal cord in the baby). If not treated quickly, meningitis can lead to long-term problems for some children. Late-onset listeriosis is most likely related to Listeria present in the mother’s birth canal. Not all babies who are exposed to listeriosis during pregnancy will have problems.

  https://patient.info/infections/listeria-leaflet

  Listeriosis is a rare infection that is caused by a type of germ (bacteria) called listeria. It usually causes a mild illness that doesn’t need any treatment. […] However, it can cause a serious illness, especially in the elderly and people with a weak immune system. Infection during pregnancy can also cause a severe illness for the unborn baby. […] Most healthy adults and children who develop listeriosis have only a mild flu-like illness or infection of the gut (gastroenteritis), with diarrhoea and sometimes being sick (vomiting). Severe infection with blood poisoning (septicaemia) or infection around the brain (meningitis) may occur, especially in the elderly and in those with weakened immune systems. […] Listeriosis in pregnancy can cause a mild illness in the mother. However, infection during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, premature delivery, stillbirth or serious illness in a newborn child.

  Fever, muscle aches, and occasionally, gastroenteritis (nausea and/or diarrhea) are the usual symptoms associated with listeriosis. […] Some individuals may also experience fatigue and a decrease or loss of appetite. […] These flu-like symptoms usually last up to one week and may spontaneously resolve. […] However, in some people, the organisms can spread to the brain. […] The symptoms of meningitis and/or encephalitis (stiff neck, headache, and fever) may appear, including altered mental status (confusion and reduced mental activity), […] Loss of balance problems and seizures (convulsions) may develop in brain infections. […] Brain abscesses may also occur and cause similar symptoms. […] The incubation period between exposure and symptoms is quite variable (three to 70 days, with 21 days as average) and may extend up to about two months or more according to some reports. […] Pregnant women who are otherwise healthy usually have only minor symptoms. However, Listeria infection during pregnancy often cause problems for the fetus: miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, or cause infection and, potentially, death of newborns.

  Infected newborn babies may show signs of infection at birth or first show signs of infection during the first few days of life. Infection in newborn babies can be very severe and can include lung infection (pneumonia) and meningitis. Infected babies may have severe difficulty with breathing and feeding. […] Most cases of listeriosis in healthy adults and children are mild and only last for a short time with full recovery. […] Infection in babies often has a poor outlook. There is a significant risk of the baby dying, or long-term complications and delayed development may occur in those babies who do survive. This is why it is so important to make efforts to avoid listeria when you are pregnant.

• #1 Listeriosis (Listeria infection)

  https://www.health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/listeriosis/fact_sheet.htm

  Listeriosis is an infection caused by the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. People become infected by eating foods contaminated with the bacteria. Listeria may infect many different sites in the body, such as the brain, spinal cord membranes, or the bloodstream. […] Because listeriosis can affect many different parts of the body, the symptoms vary from mild to severe. Listeria can cause fever and diarrhea (loose stool/poop) similar to other foodborne germs, but this type of Listeria infection is rarely diagnosed. Symptoms vary in people with invasive listeriosis, meaning the bacteria has spread beyond the gut. Symptoms typically start 1 to 4 weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria. […] Pregnant women typically experience 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. […] Symptoms can include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.

  https://www.foodpoisoningnews.com/what-are-the-symptoms-of-listeria-and-how-is-it-properly-diagnosed-what-are-the-survival-rates-for-patients-with-listeriosis/

  The symptoms of listeriosis can vary significantly based on the individuals health status, age, and the affected body part. Generally, symptoms appear within a few days to weeks after consuming contaminated food, with an incubation period ranging from 3 to 70 days. For most healthy adults, listeriosis may cause mild symptoms or may even be asymptomatic. When symptoms do occur, they often resemble a mild case of gastroenteritis and can include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and, less commonly, diarrhea. These symptoms are usually self-limiting and may resolve without medical intervention. […] However, in high-risk populations, listeriosis can progress to a more severe and invasive form of the disease. In such cases, listeria can spread to the bloodstream, causing septicemia, or to the central nervous system, leading to meningitis or encephalitis. When the bloodstream is affected, patients often experience a sudden onset of high fever, chills, low blood pressure, and a rapid heart rate. The bodys systemic response to the infection can quickly escalate, necessitating immediate medical attention.

• #1 Listeria Monocytogenes Infection (Listeriosis): Background, Pathophysiology, Epidemiology

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/220684-overview

  Listeria monocytogenes, which causes listeriosis, is an important pathogen in pregnant patients, neonates, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised individuals, although it is an uncommon cause of illness in the general population. […] The most common clinical manifestation is diarrhea. A mild presentation of fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may resemble a gastrointestinal illness. […] Bacteremia and meningitis are more serious manifestations of disease that can affect individuals at high risk. Unless recognized and treated, Listeria infections can result in significant morbidity and mortality. […] Healthy individuals may experience minor gastrointestinal symptoms when infected with Listeria. However, immunocompromised individuals are at risk for more severe infections, such as bacteraemia and meningitis, whereas pregnant people may experience miscarriage and stillbirth. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and pregnant women, have a mortality rate of 20-30% when infected with Listeria. […] CNS infection may manifest as meningitis, meningoencephalitis, or abscess. Endocarditis is another possible presentation. Localized infection may manifest as septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and, rarely, pneumonia.

  The symptoms of listeriosis are diverse and range from mild to serious. Listeriosis is especially dangerous for at-risk groups such as pregnant women and their unborn babies, newborns, older adults, those with weakened immune systems. People receiving some medical treatments, such as chemotherapy for treatment of cancer, are at high risk. […] Pregnant women typically experience 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. People who are not pregnant may experience symptoms that include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches. […] Gastrointestinal symptoms usually appear within a few hours to 2 to 3 days but can sometimes appear 2 to 6 weeks after eating the contaminated food. In some cases, it may take up to 2 months for symptoms to appear. In healthy individuals, listeriosis typically causes mild symptoms which last for only a few days. Listeriosis can also cause death in people with weakened immune systems and the elderly. […] Contact your healthcare provider if you’re experiencing one or more of the mentioned symptoms, and suspect you’ve eaten food that was possibly contaminated with Listeria within the past 2 months.

• #1 Listeriosis in Human Pregnancy: a systematic review

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3593057/

  Listeriosis is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Pregnant women are at high risk for listeriosis, but symptoms are non-specific and diagnosis is difficult. The presentation of listeriosis during pregnancy includes mild flu-like symptoms. In a series of 191 cases of listeriosis in pregnancy, 32% of women had symptoms of a flu-like illness, 65% had a fever, and other symptoms included backache (21.5%), headache (10.5%), vomiting/diarrhea (7%), muscle pains (4%) and sore throat (4%). Approximately 29% of the women were asymptomatic. Listeriosis during pregnancy carries a poorer prognosis for fetuses who are affected at early gestations as opposed to later gestations, and commonly results in spontaneous abortion or stillbirth. Preterm birth is common, and the highest mortality rate is predictably among infants born at the earliest gestations. Neonatal listeriosis occurs in approximately 8.6/100,000 of live births, and is one of the most common causes of neonatal meningitis. The clinical manifestations of neonatal listeriosis are similar to GBS, and there is a high mortality rate (20-60%). Symptoms of early-onset listeriosis occur at a mean of 36 hours after birth. In 50-74% of cases, the mother is likely to have had a flu-like illness with symptoms of fever, headache and myalgia. Neonates with early-onset infection are more frequently born preterm and associated with chorioamnionitis. The fetus presents with clinical features like septicaemia (81-88%), respiratory distress or pneumonia (38%), meningitis (24%) and occasionally disseminated inflammatory granulomata. Late-onset neonatal listeriosis tends to occur between five days and two or more weeks postpartum, typically in term neonates. The clinical features may be non-specific, but septicaemia (17-95%) and meningitis (67-93%) are common.

[…] On the mild end of the spectrum, listeriosis usually consists of the sudden onset of fever, chills, severe headache, vomiting, and other influenza-type symptoms. […] The amount of time from infection to the onset of symptoms typically referred to as the incubation period can vary to a significant degree. Symptoms of Listeria infection can develop at any time from 2 to 70 days after eating contaminated food. […] As already noted, when pregnant, women have a mildly impaired immune system that makes them susceptible to Listeria infection. If infected, the illness appears as an acute fever, muscle pain, backache, and headache. […] Newborns may present clinically with early-onset (less than 7 days) or late-onset forms of infection (7 or more days). Those with the early-onset form are often diagnosed in the first 24 hours of life with sepsis (infection in the blood). Early-onset listeriosis is most often acquired through trans-placental transmission. Late-onset neonatal listeriosis is less common than the early-onset form. Clinical symptoms may be subtle and include irritability, fever, and poor feeding.

  Listeria infection is a food-borne illness caused by bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes. A Listeria infection is also called listeriosis. Most people develop listeriosis from eating contaminated foods. […] The symptoms of listeriosis vary depending on whether the infection is limited to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or has spread beyond the gut. People infected with Listeria may feel symptoms within a few hours or days after eating contaminated food. Intestinal symptoms include diarrhea and vomiting. Symptoms usually resolve within three days, and most people feel better with rest and drinking plenty of fluids. […] Invasive listeriosis, the term for listeriosis that spreads beyond the GI tract, can take several weeks to cause symptoms. Symptoms of invasive Listeria infection include: fever, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, stiff neck, gastroenteritis, confusion, loss of balance, seizures. A severe Listeria infection may spread to the bloodstream or brain. Severe infections may cause life-threatening conditions such as sepsis, meningitis, or encephalitis.

• #2 Listeriosis in Human Pregnancy: a systematic review

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3593057/

  Listeriosis is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Pregnant women are at high risk for listeriosis, but symptoms are non-specific and diagnosis is difficult. The presentation of listeriosis during pregnancy includes mild flu-like symptoms. In a series of 191 cases of listeriosis in pregnancy, 32% of women had symptoms of a flu-like illness, 65% had a fever, and other symptoms included backache (21.5%), headache (10.5%), vomiting/diarrhea (7%), muscle pains (4%) and sore throat (4%). Approximately 29% of the women were asymptomatic. Listeriosis during pregnancy carries a poorer prognosis for fetuses who are affected at early gestations as opposed to later gestations, and commonly results in spontaneous abortion or stillbirth. Preterm birth is common, and the highest mortality rate is predictably among infants born at the earliest gestations. Neonatal listeriosis occurs in approximately 8.6/100,000 of live births, and is one of the most common causes of neonatal meningitis. The clinical manifestations of neonatal listeriosis are similar to GBS, and there is a high mortality rate (20-60%). Symptoms of early-onset listeriosis occur at a mean of 36 hours after birth. In 50-74% of cases, the mother is likely to have had a flu-like illness with symptoms of fever, headache and myalgia. Neonates with early-onset infection are more frequently born preterm and associated with chorioamnionitis. The fetus presents with clinical features like septicaemia (81-88%), respiratory distress or pneumonia (38%), meningitis (24%) and occasionally disseminated inflammatory granulomata. Late-onset neonatal listeriosis tends to occur between five days and two or more weeks postpartum, typically in term neonates. The clinical features may be non-specific, but septicaemia (17-95%) and meningitis (67-93%) are common.
