The potential value of cytokine, cortisol and vitamin D profiles in foals from birth to weaning for respiratory disease prediction on a farm endemic for Rhodococcus equi pneumonia. [PDF]

Equine Vet J
Abstract Background Rhodococcus equi causes pneumonia in young foals, but disease susceptibility and severity vary. Cortisol and vitamin D modulate immune responses and cytokine production during bacterial infection, and altered concentrations are associated with sepsis in neonatal foals. We hypothesised an age and disease effect on circulating steroid

Is Rifampin (Rifampicin) Essential for the Treatment of Rhodococcus equi Infections in Foals? A Critical Review of the Role of Rifampin. [PDF]

J Vet Pharmacol Ther
ABSTRACT Rifampin is an enigma among antimicrobials. Blood and tissue compartment concentrations are a “moving target” along the treatment course due to the complex pharmacodynamic interactions within the body. Rifampin concomitant therapies are for the prevention and treatment of Rhodococcus equi infection in foals, for nearly 40 years.

Disseminated Rhodococcus equi infection in a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with immunotherapy [PDF]

IDCases
Immunotherapies can lead to an immune compromised state that can allow for opportunistic pathogens such as Rhodococcus to flourish. The vast majority of Rhodococcus infections occur in immunocompromised hosts.
