A case of fatal intrauterine listeriosis in the third trimester of pregnancy is described. The patient presented with preterm labour and was delivered by emergency caesarean section on suspicion of foetal distress. The child was stillborn. The diagnosis was based on specific histopathological findings in the foetus and the placenta.
