To report the case of a previously healthy young female who developed orbital cellulitis caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum. We are unaware of previous reports of this condition caused by the same anaerobic, gram-negative, nonsporeforming bacterium and could find no reference to it in a computer search using MEDLINE.
Case report.
In the case of orbital cellulitis presented here, the patient required 3 sinus debridement operations and 30 days of intravenous antibiotics. Despite this, her vision did not fully recover.
F. necrophorum is capable of causing severe orbital disease that requires aggressive and prompt treatment to preserve sight.
报告一例既往健康的年轻女性发生坏死梭杆菌引起的眼眶蜂窝织炎的病例。我们未发现此前有由这种厌氧、革兰氏阴性、无芽孢形成细菌引起该病症的报告,并且在使用医学文献数据库(MEDLINE)进行的计算机检索中也未找到相关参考资料。
病例报告。
在此例眼眶蜂窝织炎病例中,患者需要进行3次鼻窦清创手术以及30天的静脉抗生素治疗。尽管如此,她的视力并未完全恢复。
坏死梭杆菌能够引起严重的眼眶疾病,需要积极且及时的治疗以保护视力。
