Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, NT, Hong Kong.

Four babies with congenital listeriosis were diagnosed in the Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong in 1990-1991. Two died in the early neonatal period. The remaining 2 survived and recovered with no sequelae. The clinical and pathological features of these babies, together with those reported in the recent literature are highlighted so as to raise a high index of suspicion toward this disease and hopefully prompt treatment can be offered.
