Rhodococcus equi Endophthalmitis
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1989To the Editor. — Rhodococcus (Corynebacterium) equi is a gram-positive, aerobic bacillus that is a common pathogen in animals. Until a few years ago, to our knowledge, no cases of human infection had been reported. Recently, human infestation has been seen in immunocompromised patients, presenting primarily with pulmonary manifestations.

Rhodococcus equi: An emerging opportunistic pathogen
Trends in Microbiology, 1996Rhodococcus equi is emerging as a cause of pneumonia in immunocompromised people, especially those with AIDS. Like mycobacteria, R. equi is phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages and replicates within them. Recent work is beginning to elucidate the cell and molecular biology of this opportunistic pathogen and the host immune response to it.

Rhodococcus equi‐associated osteomyelitis in foals
Australian Veterinary Journal, 1993SUMMARYTwo cases of Rhodococcus equl infection in foals are described, in which osteomyelitis was a feature. Because rhodococcal infection is usually low grade and chronic, and because the signs of early metaphysitis can be subtle, any articular or periarticular swelling in a foal from a farm with a history of rhodococcosis should be strongly suspected

Rhodococcus Equi: An Emerging Opportunistic Pathogen?
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1989AbstractHuman infection with Rhodococcus equi is apparently rare with most published reports describing the development of lung abscesses in immunocompromised hosts. Of only 18 cases of infection previously recorded, four have recently occurred in patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). In Australasia, R.

Rhodococcus equi infection of cats
Veterinary Dermatology, 1999Six cases of Rhodococcus equi infection in cats are described. One cat had pneumonia and died. The remaining five cats had cutaneous lesions affecting the feet in four of the cats and the metacarpus in one cat, and all these cats recovered with the aid of antibiotics.

Infectious Endocarditis Caused by Rhodococcus equi
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2010Rhodococcus equi is an unusual cause of infection. Furthermore, this infection also tends to be typically described in immunocompromised patients. This report describes a 25-year-old previously healthy man with infectious endocarditis that was found to have been caused by R equi complicated by a subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, and a ...

Seminars in respiratory infections, 1997
Corynebacterium equi is a pleomorphic gram-positive rod that was first isolated in 1923 by Magnusson, and is the cause of suppurative broncho-pneumonia in foals. The organism, now know as Rhodococcus equi, is ubiquitous in nature and is increasingly recognized as pathogenic, particularly in the immunocompromised population.

Lung abscess caused by Rhodococcus equi
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1991In the immunocompromised patient, early diagnosis of a lung cavity is essential for appropriate treatment. Rhodococcus equi (formerly Corynebacterium equi) is a variably acid-fast bacterium that can produce cavitary disease in an immunocompromised host.

Infections with Rhodococcus equi in children
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1991Three cases of serious infection in children, including the first two reports of bacteremia, due to Rhodococcus equi are described. Only seven pediatric cases have been reported to date. In the laboratory, R. equi can easily be misidentified as a nonpathogenic Corynebacterium spp. (diphtheroid) or a Mycobacterium spp.

Rhodococcus Equi Infection In 3 Aids Patients
Acta Clinica Belgica, 1996Three cases of AIDS complicated by Rhodococcus equi infection are reported. At least one of the patients acquired his Rhodococcus infection in Africa. Despite the fact that the R. equi strains were susceptible to tetracycline, erythromycin, amikacin, co-trimoxazole, rifampicin and vancomycin, these antibiotics were clinically not successful. A clinical
