Abstract

A 53-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of cellulitis and osteomyelitis. Twenty-four days after the initiation of daptomycin and sulbactam/ampicillin, he developed a fever and pulmonary infiltration. Bronchoalveolar lavage revealed a high number of eosinophils, while an intracutaneous test revealed positivity for daptomycin. The patient improved after discontinuing antimicrobial therapy. The plasma daptomycin minimum concentration (Cmin) was elevated (27.4 μg/mL), but plasma protein binding of daptomycin was low (87.8%). Although the pathophysiology of eosinophilic pneumonia remains unclear, antigenic stimulation due to daptomycin accumulation in the alveoli may have caused continuous immune activation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 31 January 2024.
All research outputs
#6,375,394
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Internal Medicine
#341
of 2,938 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#96,135
of 340,752 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Internal Medicine
#17
of 107 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,938 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% 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 340,752 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 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 107 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
