Clinical Epidemiology and Microbiology of Orbital Cellulitis in Children
This single-center retrospective cohort study of children with orbital cellulitis over a 16-year time period found that clinical characteristics including duration of symptoms prior to presentation did not differ between those with versus without an abscess. Streptococcus intermedius was the most common pathogen identified, followed by Staphylococcus aureus.
