Rhodococcus equi Infections in Dogs [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2016 Five cases of Rhodococcus equi infection in dogs were identified from 2003 to 2014. Three of the dogs had severe, internal lesions attributable to R. equi that have not been previously described: endophthalmitis, endocarditis, and suppurative pleuropneumonia.

Serum Electrolyte Changes in Foals Receiving Rhodococcus equi-Specific Hyperimmune Plasma. [PDF]
J Vet Emerg Crit Care (San Antonio)ABSTRACT Background Rhodococcus equi–specific hyperimmune plasma (Re‐HIP) is routinely administered to neonatal foals to help prevent rhodococcal pneumonia. In addition to pathogen‐specific immunoglobulins, frozen plasma products (FPPs) contain electrolytes that may exceed concentrations found in neonatal foal plasma.

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 JAbstract 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
