A 69 y/o female presented with a 5-day history of fever and left eyelid swelling. This was accompanied by partial gray-tan discoloration of the involved eyelid of over 3 days' duration. On examination, there was severe left eyelid swelling, which made the rest of the ocular examination difficult. The patient also had fever at 39.2°C. What are your comments?
