 AB    Rhodococcus equi infections are being recognized with greater frequency
       in immunocompromised patients and the population infected with the human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV). R. equi usually causes a progressive
       pneumonia that may or may not cavitate and is relatively refractory to
       antibiotic therapy. We report a case of fatal R. equi pneumonia in a
       normal host.
