Abstract
Propionibacterium acnes is a normal inhabitant of the skin and mucosal surfaces and is rarely identified as a cause of significant infection. Reports of chest infections by this organism are limited. We report a case of pneumatocele-associated pneumonia caused by this organism and review the literature.
