Pregnant women are about 20 times more likely than other healthy adults to get listeriosis. About one-third of listeriosis cases happen during pregnancy. Newborns, rather than the pregnant women themselves, suffer the serious effects of infection in pregnancy. Other people at high risk for listeriosis and other food-borne illnesses include people with weakened immune systems, cancer, diabetes, or kidney disease; people with AIDS (who are almost 300 times more likely to get listeriosis than people with normal immune systems); people who take glucocorticosteroid medications and the elderly. |
