Abstract

Tuberculosis is highly prevalent in our country and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are frequently found in respiratory specimens recently. A 65-year-old woman was admitted with complaints of fever, cough, weight loss, and hemoptysis. On the patient's chest radiography an upper lobe cavity in both lungs and consolidation was detected. Acid-fast bacilli 4+ were observed in smear of sputum and culture results M. intracellulare and M. tuberculosis were observed together. The patient's treatment was arranged. Through this case, we want to emphasize that tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial disease can coexist.

Attention Score in Context

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 February 2018.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Turkish Thoracic Journal
#76
of 120 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#248,431
of 321,209 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Turkish Thoracic Journal
#5
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 120 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% 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 321,209 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
