Abstract

 The present study aims to detect the Possible Causes of Spontaneous Abortion in Fertile Age Women by Listeria Infection, a case control study was conducted, including 65 aborted women and 30 healthy women, the results found significant changes in birth number (p 0.016) and in Listeriae infection level (IgG+IgM) (p 0.001) which elevated in the aborted women. the abortion trimester shows that high percentage of abortion were at the first trimester (70.96%), the abortion number mean was (3.86±1.76), low percentage was smokers in both groups in non-significant differences and high percentages of employments in both groups, high percentage of aborted women have an age less than 29 years and lower percentage have aged >40 years, the Listeriae level (IgG+IgM) didn’t affect by age, the Listeriae level (IgG+IgM) according to smoking and occupation were non-significantly affected. The correlation between Listeriae level (IgG+IgM) and the abortion number shows significant positive correlation with abortion number in the first trimester (p 0.024), and non-significant association with n of abortion in the second trimester (p 0.770). The correlation between Listeriae level (IgG+IgM) and no. of birth shows non -significant inverse association (p 0.102), and non-significant association with abortions number (p 0.344). The present study concluded that the abortion can be caused by Listeria Infection of pregnant women in the first trimester.
