    Author: Borleffs JC, Petersen EJ, Kaasjager K, Teding van Berkhout F, Rozenberg-Arska M.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1994 Dec 24; 138(52):2587-90. PubMed ID: 7808528.
    Abstract:
    In three patients, men of 30, 21 and 24 years old respectively, Rhodococcus equi pneumonia was diagnosed. Antibiotic treatment, followed by secondary prophylaxis, was successful. In one patient, lobectomy was done. R. equi, a well-known bacterial pathogen in horses, appears also to be pathogenic in humans in case of immunodeficiency.
