A Neonatal Pneumonia Presented with Spontaneous Pneumothorax Due to Listeria Monositogenes

Listeria Monositogenes is a facultative anaerob gram(+) agents that presents in soil, water, plants and in many mammals intestinal system.  Listeria Monositogenes is one of the most common factors of early neonatal sepsis and neonatal pneumonia during the perinatal period. Maternal obstetric complications are frequently seen in patients. Patients are often premature and have low birth weight. Responsible microorganisms frequently originate from maternal. The disease involes multisystems and the prognosis is usually fulminant.  In the congenital pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome is prominent. Symptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax  brings about serious morbidity and mortality in newborns. The cause and risk factors of symptomatic pneumothorax in term newborns are not completely understood. The risk factors were reported as prematurity, male sex, high birth weight and birth the use of vacuum. We aimed to present a case with neonatal pneumonia associated with symptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax due to Listeria Monositogenes
