Rhodococcus equi causing human pulmonary infection: review of 29 cases.

J A Lasky1, N Pulkingham, M A Powers, D T Durack.   

Abstract

Rhodococcus equi is a gram-positive pleomorphic bacillus that has been identified as a life-threatening pulmonary pathogen in the immunocompromised host. Infection with R equi may go unrecognized by physicians unacquainted with its presentation and unaware of the organism's ability to mimic diphtheroids and to stain weakly positive with an acid-fast stain.
