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.
