Orbital mucormycosis is a rare but potentially severe and troublesome invasive fungal infection that could be occurred even in healthy individuals. The initial clinical presentation is similar to bacterial pre-septal or septal cellulitis, especially in early stages.
Herein, we describe the successful management of a series of five cases presenting with orbital mucormycosis in previously healthy children.
Orbital mucormycosis is extremely rare in healthy children and maybe life-threatening when diagnosis delayed given a similar clinical presentation with bacterial septal cellulitis. Intravenous antifungal therapy with amphotericin B and timely surgical drainage is live-saving.
眼眶毛霉菌病是一种罕见但潜在严重且麻烦的侵袭性真菌感染，即使在健康个体中也可能发生。最初的临床表现类似于细菌性眶隔前或眶隔后蜂窝织炎，尤其是在早期阶段。
本文描述了成功治疗五例先前健康的儿童眼眶毛霉菌病的情况。
眼眶毛霉菌病在健康儿童中极为罕见，由于与细菌性眶隔蜂窝织炎相似的临床表现，诊断延迟可能会危及生命。静脉内使用两性霉素 B 进行抗真菌治疗和及时的手术引流是救命的。
