The usefulness of computerized tomography (CT scanning) in managing orbital cellulitis is analyzed in six cases. What appears as orbital abscess on CT scan may not be confirmed at surgery. Careful clinical evaluation and responsiveness to antibiotic therapy are most important in determining the need for surgical intervention.

Two patient receiving minocycline developed blue-black pigmentation on the legs. Biopsies from the pigmented areas demonstrated granules containing iron, a pigment with staining properties similar to melanin, and a third pigment which may be a degradation product of minocycline. Electron microscopy showed that some, but not all the granules were membrane-bound and they were situated mainly within macrophages. Analytical electron microscopy showed that the granules contained iron, sulphur, chlorine and, in one case, calcium.
