A male patient of 33 years of age with AIDS developed pneumonia with abscess formation and a slow clinical course. The sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage and blood cultures yielded a Gram-positive, partially acid-alcohol resistant bacillus which was identified as Rhodococcus equi. This organism has been uncommonly implicated in pneumonia in patients with immunodeficiency, particularly with neoplasia and severe cell immunity deficiency. It has been very rarely reported in patients with AIDS. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in Spain.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms.
