摘要
Periorbital cellulitis (POC) is an acute bacterial infection of the eyelids. In the past, before the introduction of Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccination, POC was usually caused by this bacterium. Vaccination was introduced in 1985 and extended in 1990. Since then, most cases are caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. We present a case of POC caused by H. influenzae in a 95-year-old woman: to our knowledge, this is the oldest patient with POC reported in the literature.
