A member asked:
I am 11 weeks pregnant and think i may have contracted listeria. i am asymptomatic-would a blood test still show the presence of listeria at this point?

Listeria: I am not sure why you think you have listeria. It can be a serious infection during pregnancy. Typically you will run very high fevers with it if it does affect the pregnancy. Blood cultures and perhaps antibody testing could be helpful. See your doctor.
