We describe the first case of community-acquired Propionibacterium avidum subcutaneous tissue infection in a cirrhotic patient. A 70-year-old Chinese male with a 2-year history of hepatitis B virus-induced chronic liver failure and hemorrhoidectomy 17 months previously presented with a painful left buttock abscess, which was culture positive for P. avidum.
