Abstract
Rhodococcus equi, formerly known as Corynebacterium equi, an aerobic, gram-positive, pleomorphic coccobacillus, is a well-known pathogen for domestic livestock. We present a biopsy- and culture-proven case of Rhodococcus equi brain abscesses in a patient seropositive for HIV, having an appearance not described previously.
