Listeria infections are caused by eating food contaminated with the bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes.
In healthy individuals, short-term symptoms may include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. But for young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems, the infection can be serious and sometimes fatal. Listeria infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
