| Abstract |
Sporotrichosis is an infection caused by a dimorphic fungus of the Sporothrix schenckii complex. Host immunity is an important factor in the clinical manifestations of the disease. Deeply immunocompromised individuals, especially those infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and T CD4 counts < 350 cells/ul lymphocytes, may present with the systemic form of sporotrichosis. This report describes a case of disseminated sporotrichosis caused by S. brasiliensis in a patient with advanced AIDS. The skin, lungs, bones and central nervous system were affected. Medical treatment involved the administration of amphotericin B, terbinafine, itraconazole and posaconazole. Posaconazole was associated with the best clinical response and clearing of the fungus from the central nervous system. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 07 May 2015.
All research outputs
#15,331,767
of 22,803,211 outputs
Outputs from AIDS Research and Therapy
#352
of 551 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#156,909
of 264,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS Research and Therapy
#7
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,803,211 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 551 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% 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 264,554 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
