Clinical Course of Preseptal and Orbital Cellulitis in 50 Immunocompromised Patients with Cancer

Infections of the orbital and periorbital soft tissue can be of bacterial or fungal cause and can be categorized as preseptal cellulitis or orbital (postseptal) cellulitis. We conducted this retrospective study to examine the clinical features and prognosis in patients with cancer with preseptal and orbital cellulitis at a comprehensive cancer center. An August 2017 literature search identified no previous publications on orbital cellulitis in patients with cancer, underscoring the importance of the current report.
