A case of listeriosis was notified on 20 September 1996 for a patient with a haematological disease. Over the following 48 hours four further cases were reported, all in patients with immunosuppression associated with chronic disease. Listeria monocytogenes O1 was isolated from the blood of all cases. One case died.
