Abstract |
We present the case of an 8 year-old girl in a developing country with significant corneal scarring and multiple cutaneous skin lesions in sun-exposed areas. Neuro-developmental delay had been present since 3 months of age, and taken as a whole the consensus was that this clinical picture was consistent with Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP). We highlight the difficulties encountered due to the lack of diagnostic and treatment modalities for this child, and offer a brief review of XP, including emerging treatments that show potential. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 06 November 2022.
All research outputs
#6,502,688
of 23,053,169 outputs
Outputs from Cases Journal
#58
of 251 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,922
of 91,652 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cases Journal
#11
of 50 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,053,169 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 251 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its peers.
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 91,652 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 50 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
