Rhodococcus equi is an unusual pathogen causing infections mostly in immunocompromised patients, particularly in those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It has rarely been reported to affect immunocompetent hosts, where it usually presents as an isolated extrapulmonary lesion. We report a case of osteomyelitis caused by this organism in an immunocompetent host.
马红球菌是一种不常见的病原体，主要引起免疫功能低下患者的感染，尤其是人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染者。很少有报道称其会感染免疫功能正常的宿主，在这类宿主中，它通常表现为孤立的肺外病变。我们报告了一例由该病原体引起的免疫功能正常宿主的骨髓炎病例。
