 AB    We report a case of pulmonary malakoplakia in a patient suffering from
       AIDS secondary to a Rhodococcus equi pneumonia. The association between
       these two pathologies only occurring in the immunodepressed does not
       seen fortuitous. Deficiency in cellular immunity and macrophage cellular
       activity as well as failure of intracellular bactericidal and
       phagolysosomal function are very probably the links. The treatment of
       this opportunistic germ rests on prolonged poly-antibiotic therapy or
       indeed surgical excision.
