| Abstract |
Corynespora cassiicola infection is common in plants, but the human Corynespora cassiicola infection in our report is rare according to the literature. We report a case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by a plant pathogen in a patient with acute heart failure. The organism was isolated and identified as Corynespora cassiicola according to its morphological characteristics and gene analysis. The patient was treated successfully with systemic voriconazole. This is the third reported case of subcutaneous infection caused by Corynespora cassiicola and the first reported case with accompanied renal impairment, which was associated with acute heart failure. Our case also suggests the importance of renal function monitoring in patients receiving intravenous voriconazole treatment. |

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 03 September 2018.
All research outputs
#20,532,290
of 23,102,082 outputs
Outputs from BMC Infectious Diseases
#6,542
of 7,752 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#292,036
of 335,278 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Infectious Diseases
#116
of 157 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,102,082 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,752 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 335,278 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 157 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
