Nonhealing wound due to Rhodococcus equi in an apparently immunocompetent patient, revealing CD8+ T-lymphocyte deficiency.

Abstract

We describe a case of a nonhealing wound due to Rhodococcus equi. Failure of the wound to heal led to immunological investigations and the discovery of a previously unknown CD8+ T-lymphocyte deficit responsible for the chronic infection. The infection was cured after a 3-month course of a combination of antibiotics.
