AB Rhodococcus equi is a facultatively-aerobic, gram-positive and
intracellular bacteria that causes pulmonary and disseminated infections
in immuno-compromised patients. It is a common agent that causes
pneumonia in farm animals and only rarely is transmitted to man. I
report a case of pneumonia caused by this agent in a patient with AIDS
who had been misdiagnosed as tuberculosis and treated as such for five
months before the correct diagnosis was made. The diagnosis should be
suspected on clinical and radiologic grounds as treatment is
considerably different from other opportunistic pathogens in AIDS.
