28.5 Conclusion
Patients with cancer vary both in terms of underlying malignancy and in terms of the level of immunosuppression. Multiple predisposing factors may exist, increasing the spectrum of likely pathogens. The recognition and treatment of infection in immunocompromised patients are very important. Collaboration between different specialties is crucial in managing patients with orbital or ocular infection. Not only can the visual outcome of ocular and orbital infection be poor, but associated systemic involvement and septicemia may be life-threatening.
