| Abstract |
Aspergillus is a ubiquitous fungus responsible for allergic as well as saprophytic and invasive manifestations depending on host's immune status. The following case report demonstrates progression of allergic manifestations of Aspergillus to its invasive form in an individual with decreasing immunity. This can lead to uncertainties in diagnosis and management. A 28-year-old male, non smoker, known case of ABPA (allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis) was admitted with complaints of cough for 1 month, associated with recurrent episodes of hemoptysis for last 5 days. CT Thorax revealed homogenous dense round opacity in right upper lobe which replaced previous fibrocalcific bronchiectatic lesion with cavity and aspergilloma, bulging across the major fissure with fibrotic strands extending to periphery in all directions. Post-pneumonectomy microscopic examination revealed Aspergillus hyphae invading blood vessels. There is a need for close clinical and radiologic follow up of patients with Aspergillus and our patient demonstrated overlap of complete spectrum of Aspergillus disease with march from one end to the other end. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 December 2016.
All research outputs
#16,048,318
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology
#596
of 924 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#237,426
of 416,360 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology
#14
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 924 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.8. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 416,360 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
