Abstract

A case of Listeria infection is reported of a 10 year old girl with symptoms of the first menstruation but without the discharge of blood because of the absence of the vaginal duct. The blood retained in the uterus obtained by puncture through the rectum contained Listeria monocytogenes 4b. The infection was possibly acquired from a household pet.
