A member asked:
How does the doctor usually test a person for listeriosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Culture of blood...: Listeriosis most often affects pregnant women and their fetuses or newborns, elderly people, and immunocompromised individuals. Infected newborn infants develop pneumonia, septicemia (blood poisoning), and meningitis. People of advanced age and immunocompromised individuals often develop meningitis. Cultures of blood and spinal fluid are often done to identify the offending organism.
