A member asked:

18 wks pregnant... have had stomach bug past 2 days vomiting and nausea no diarrhea or fever or other sx. should i asked to be tested for listeria?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe (not): Listeria is pretty rare. It is spread through things like deli-meat, unpasteurized milk or contaminated vegetables or cheese. If everyone with a stomach bug was tested, there would be a lot of needless tests. Discuss it with your Ob provider to see if your symptoms and exposures warrant testing or treatment. Best wishes.
