Listeriosis and borreliosis in perinatal medicine

Authors review the available literature on listeriosis and boreliosis in perinatology. A growing clinical importance of listeriosis is noted. Boreliosis is a newly described disease. In the light of the literature data, listeriosis and boreliosis do not seem to play an important role in the perinatal medicine. However, in selected cases, these infections should be considered in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
