[Bacterial zoonoses: listeria infection of the mother in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy].

Listeria species are Gram-positive bacilli, present in food and in the environment (soil, water). Most of them are fortunately low-virulent, so there is no risk for healthy people. However, in special circumstances, they can be pathogenic, in immunocompromised individuals.

[Pregnancy, labor and early puerperium in a patient with Wilson's disease].

Pregnancy should have a successful outcome in a patient with treated Wilson's disease if complications are excluded before conception. Chelating treatment must be maintained, although there is some concern about its teratogenicity. We describe the course of pregnancy in a patient with Wilson's disease treated with D-penicillamine and zinc sulfate.

[Wilson's disease and pregnancy].

The authors describe the case of a 27-year-old female patient with Wilson's disease who during penicillinamine treatment became pregnant and was delivered of a healthy infant. The diagnosis of Wilson's disease was confirmed by the finding of a Kayser-Fleischer ring in the cornea and a concurrent serum ceruloplasmin concentration lower than 0.20 g/l.
