  • Title: Relapsing Rhodococcus equi infection in a heart transplant recipient successfully treated with long-term linezolid.
    Author: Muñoz P, Palomo J, Guinea J, Yañez J, Giannella M, Bouza E.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2008 Feb; 60(2):197-9. PubMed ID: 17949934.
    Abstract:
    We report a heart transplant recipient with Rhodococcus equi and Cryptococcus neoformans infection. Despite an initially relapsing course and the acquisition of resistance in vivo, the patient responded to 5 months of linezolid and 6 months of fluconazole. This is the 1st R. equi infection to be cured with linezolid in a heart transplant recipient.
