This case report describes the treatment and outcome of a 3.5-month-old lame foal with pneumonia associated with Rhodococcus equi. Despite prevention and adequate treatment, the unusual location of Rhodococcus equi osteomyelitis in the scapulohumeral joint led to euthanasia of the patient.
This case report describes the treatment and outcome of a 3.5-month-old lame foal, with a history of pneumonia associated with Rhodococcus equi. Clinical examination identified osteomyelitis of the scapulohumeral joint. The unusual location of the Rhodococcus equi osteomyelitis unresponsive to prevention and adequate treatment led to euthanasia of the patient. Post-mortem findings confirmed bronchopneumonia due to Rhodococcus equi as well as the osteomyelitis of the scapulohumeral joint. This case highlights that Rhodococcus equi should be considered as a pathogen in extrapulmonary locations such as septic arthritis and osteomyelitis in foals with history of bronchopneumonia. Early and aggressive treatment should be considered.
