Abstract
Propionibacterium acnes, a gram positive anaerobic organism, is a component of normal skin flora. It can exceptionally be a source of osteoarticular infection (osteitis, arthritis, spondylodiscitis). We report a case of Propionibacterium acnes spondylodiscitis following lumbar puncture. This observation should alert the clinician to the fact that Propionibacterium acnes may rarely cause spondylodiscitis and lumbar pain, and should be considered a causative agent of bone infections after local procedures.
