title: Cutaneous abscess due to Eubacterium lentum in injection drug user: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: We described the first case, to the best of our knowledge, of cutaneous abscess due to Eubacterium lentum in a parenteral drug user, after complete fracture of the right femor. The case underlines the importance of carefully performed microbiological tests, due to the peculiar cultural needs of the micro-organism.
