Pulmonary Infections: Rhodococcus equi is the most clinically significant species within the genus, and it is known to cause pulmonary infections, particularly in individuals with impaired immunity. Rhodococcus equi pneumonia typically presents with symptoms such as cough, fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, it can lead to lung abscesses and necrotizing pneumonia.
Cutaneous Infections: Rhodococcus species can cause cutaneous infections, such as cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections. These infections may occur following trauma or exposure to contaminated soil or water. Cutaneous infections can present as localized lesions with erythema, swelling, and purulent discharge.
Disseminated Infections: In immunocompromised individuals, Rhodococcus infections can disseminate beyond the initial site of infection to involve multiple organ systems, leading to a systemic illness. Disseminated infections may affect the lungs, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, and other organs. They can be difficult to treat and may result in severe complications if not promptly diagnosed and managed.
Catheter-Related Infections: Rhodococcus species have been implicated in catheter-related infections, particularly in individuals with indwelling central venous catheters or other medical devices. These infections can lead to bacteremia and septicemia, posing a risk of serious complications, especially in immunocompromised patients.
Ocular Infections: There have been rare reports of Rhodococcus species causing ocular infections, such as keratitis or endophthalmitis. These infections can result from direct inoculation, trauma, or hematogenous spread.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
