Listeria monocytogenes bacteremia in an AIDS patient during pregnancy: A case report
HIV infection during pregnancy, when complicated by L. monocytogenes bacteremia, is extremely rare; however, it carries a very high mortality rate. This case study represents one of the few documented instances of HIV infection complicated by L. monocytogenes bacteremia during pregnancy. It underscores the necessity for clinicians to enhance early detection and implement precise interventions for these rare co-infections to optimize maternal and infant outcomes.
