title: [Pneumonia by Rhodococcus equi in patients with HIV infection].
abstract: We present the case of a patient with AIDS who developed abscessified pneumonia by Rhodococcus equi. We publish this case given the rare frequency of presentation of this opportunistic infection in this type of patient and given its good clinical evolution, on the contrary of other cases described so far in the literature. The good evolution of the patient may be due to an early diagnosis, less than one month, and the combined medical therapy with rifampicine and tetracyclines.
