[Immunosuppression, pregnancy and listeriosis].

In this case report on pregnancy-related listeriosis, two women with inflammatory bowel disease and immunosuppression are presented. Both were treated with intravenous ampicillin for three weeks and gentamicin for three days. Continuous fetal monitoring was performed every 12 hours and ultrasound every 3-4 days. Both infants, born at 37 and 33 weeks, required brief CPAP but were clinically unaffected and survived without sequelae. Infant 1 received antibiotics for one week as the mother was two weeks into her treatment regimen, while infant 2 was not treated as the mother had completed her regimen.
