Abstract

The infection of the orbita and ocular tissues can result in severe local and systemic complications. We aimed to determine the predisposing factors for preseptal and orbital cellulitis, the clinical and routine laboratory differences between orbital and preseptal cellulitis, and the change in the spectrum of the pathogens and the antibiotics used in the last 10 years.
