What is listeria? What are the symptoms of a listeria infection?

Listeria is a foodborne bacterial illness, that can cause listeriosis, which primarily affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and newborns.

Common symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.

In pregnant woman, listeriosis can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In older adults and people with weakened immune systems, infections can sometimes be fatal.

People at higher risk of infection who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care.

Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics.
