 AB    Immunocompromised patients are at risk of developing infections caused
       by Rhodococcus equi, a gram-positive bacillus that can cause pneumonia
       in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. To the author's
       knowledge this is the first report describing the cytologic features of
       the infection in a patient who had a confirmatory tissue biopsy and
       positive culture. Infection with R equi may go unrecognized by
       pathologists unaware of its presentation and appearance in cytologic
       material.
