The Société de Pathologie Infectieuse de Langue Française released in 2024 a new national recommendation for clinical practice on the prevention and management of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection during pregnancy and the perinatal period. The previous recommendation was issued in 1998, at a time of anti-VZV immunoglobulins shortage; it has hence become obsolete. This recommendation is a formalized expert consensus focusing on infectious diseases management; it is drawn up by a multidisciplinary working group (infectiologists, obstetricians, pediatricians, microbiologists, midwives, hygienists).

causes listeriosis, a serious foodborne illness with a high mortality rate, especially in vulnerable populations. It accounts for 19% of foodborne deaths, with invasive cases having a mortality rate of up to 44%, leading to conditions like meningitis, bacteremia, and meningoencephalitis. However, the prognostic factors remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
- A rare gram-positive bacillus, an intracellular pathogen, can cause severe complications in pregnancy, leading to conditions like neonatal meningitis, as seen in two documented cases.
- The first case involved a 7-day-old baby with high fever and feeding refusal, diagnosed with meningitis due to a CAMP-negative strain, requiring intensive treatment and mechanical ventilation before improving on appropriate antibiotics.
- The second case involved an 11-day-old low birth weight infant who displayed symptoms suggestive of sepsis, prompting immediate empirical antibiotic administration and further investigation.
