Morganella morganii: associated sinusitis with orbital abscess in a diabetic patient

Morganella morganii is a gram negative pathogen and may cause lethal disease in patients with immunosuppressive disease. It is commonly found in long term urinary catheter used and immune system deficiency patients as nosocomial disease. Morganella morganii was also involving skin, skeletal system and central nervous system. In this case we present sporadic Morganella morganii infection on sinonasal region with the presence of sinusitis, orbital absess, preseptal cellulitis and lamina propasia defect on 58 year old female diabetic patient. Microbiological assessment from nasal tissue and sinus puss discharge were reported as Morganella morganii. This is the first case of sinonasal Morganella morganii infection with sinonasal, preseptal cellulitis and orbital absess with lamina papyracea bone destruction.
