There are many drugs available to treat bacterial, viral, and fungal infections of the eye. The antibiotic drugs that are available are generally broad spectrum. Ophthalmic formulations in this category are in the form of ointments and suspensions in addition to conventional solution eye drops. Many of the products are combinations of drugs, and the relative efficacy of the formulations is judged on the frequency of instillation and duration of treatment. Broadly, the following are the major types of ocular infections that are treated by antibiotics or a combination of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents [54]: conjunctivitis (viral, bacterial, and neonatal), episcleritis, keratitis (viral, bacterial, and keratitis due to light exposure), uveitis (anterior, intermediate, posterior, and retinitis), hordeolum and chalazion, dacryocystitis, periorbital, and orbital cellulitis.

Periorbital (pre-septal) cellulitis occurs anterior to the orbital septum and is confined to the anterior superficial orbital soft tissues. In orbital cellulitis, the infection is localized posterior to the orbital septum in the postseptal space.

A prospective, descriptive study was undertaken on four children affected by haemangioma, osteomyelitis and abscess on the left foot, orbital cellulitis and chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, respectively. A protocol was drawn up for taking the thermographic images adapted to protocols referring to adults (Sillero-Quintana et al. 2015a). The study was approved by the Hospital’s Ethical Scientific Committee. The parents or legal representatives of the patients gave their consent for participating in the study and for the use of human images for research purposes.
