| Abstract |
A previously healthy 19-month-old boy developed acute encephalopathy, thrombocytopenia and hepatic dysfunction. Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) DNA was found in his CSF during the acute stage of the disease by means of the polymerase chain reaction. T2-weighted MRI revealed high signal intensity in the left thalamus and left parieto-occipital deep white matter. The myelin basic protein concentration in the CSF was elevated suggesting acute demyelination. The patient is now 2.5 years old and has no sequelae. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 16 April 2012.
All research outputs
#7,753,975
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Pediatrics
#1,529
of 3,869 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#9,404
of 29,591 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Pediatrics
#4
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,869 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.7. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% 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 29,591 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
