Abstract: Lis teriosis is an under-diagnosed and under-reported infection; however, listeriosis is not a compulsorily notifi able disease in Brazil. We provide an overview of the rates of listeriosis in the United States of America (USA), Europe, Latin America, and Brazil during the past decade. We also report a case of miscarriage caused by listeriosis in which there was no suspicion of this infection. This overview and the case we report serve as reminders of the often-neglected threat of listeriosis and its potential… Show more

“…In general, consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes may cause listeriosis which may result in serious human illness with symptoms of septicemia, meningitis, encephalitis and gastroenteritis particularly in children, the elderly and immunosuppressed individuals. It may also cause miscarriage in pregnant women [7]. L. monocytogenes had the second highest fatality rate (20%) and the highest hospitalization rate (90%) in virulence [8].…”

“…Another study from Germany indicatedthat an estimated 0.62 cases per 100000 inhabitants occur per year, and that report alsoshowed increasing trend of listeriosis than the previous year/s (Koch, et al, 2006).The national survey result of Japan also showed an estimated incidence of listeriosis as0.65 cases per million inhabitants that arelower than the cases in other developed countries (Okutani, et al, 2004). Other reportsfrom different regions of the world also show the distribution of L. monocytogenes all over the world (Chenal-Francisque, 2011;Blum-Menezes, 2013).…”
