Since the 1986 Rhodococcus equi workshop, there have been major breakthroughs in understanding the epidemiology of, the virulence of, and the immune response to, this intriguing pathogen. However, with the exception of the use of hyperimmune plasma for the prevention of the disease (Martens et al., 1989; Madigan et al., 1991) the clinical aspects of R. equi infections have essentially remained unchanged. This article reviews the various clinical manifestations and summarizes recent advances in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of R. equi infections in foals.
自1986年马红球菌研讨会以来，在了解这种引人关注的病原体的流行病学、毒力及免疫反应方面已取得重大突破。然而，除了使用高免血浆预防该病（Martens等人，1989年；Madigan等人，1991年）外，马红球菌感染的临床情况基本未变。本文综述了马驹马红球菌感染的各种临床表现，并总结了其诊断、治疗及预防方面的最新进展。
