Neisseria gonorrhoeae as a Rare Cause of Preseptal Cellulitis.

Abstract

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a rare cause of preseptal cellulitis, but infections can be severe. Rapid diagnosis is critical and can be expedited by nucleic acid amplification tests. Contact isolation precautions are encouraged for hospitalized patients with gonococcal preseptal cellulitis and a prolonged course of antibiotics is recommended.
