Rhodococcus lung abscess complicating kidney transplantation: successful management by combination antibiotic therapy.

K C Tse1, S C W Tang, T M Chan, K N Lai.   

Abstract

In this report, a renal transplant recipient with Rhodococcus lung abscess is described. A high clinical suspicion and appropriate combination antibiotic therapy obviated the need for surgical intervention and was associated with a good clinical outcome. The optimal regimen of combination antibiotic therapy is discussed.
