In response to recent questions about exposure to products that may have been contaminated with listeria, we would like to remind providers of a testing and treatment algorithm that was developed by the IWK and RCP for pregnant patient with presumptive listeria exposure.
Pregnant patients with a positive blood culture for listeria should be referred to the Fetal Assessment & Treatment Centre (FATC) for surveillance.
The FATC referral form can be found on the IWK website.
Note: A new form must be printed for each referral (due to the barcode) and the form must be faxed to FATC at 902- 470−7987.
