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.
