| Abstract |
Cardiobacterium is a fastidious Gram-negative bacillus, and is a rare human pathogen in clinical settings. Herein, we describe a case of Cardiobacterium valvarum (C. valvarum) endocarditis with a rare complication of cerebral hemorrhage after mitral valve replacement (MVR), tricuspid valve prosthesis (TVP) and vegetation removal operation. A 41-year-old woman who had a history of gingivitis developed into infective endocarditis due to the infection of C. valvarum. Then, she was hospitalized to receive MVR, TVP and vegetation removal operation. The indicators of patient tended to be normal until the abrupt cerebral hemorrhage occurred on day 15 after operation. This is the first well-described case of C. valvarum infection in China, and the first report of C. valvarum endocarditis with cerebral hemorrhage after MVR, TVP and vegetation removal operation worldwide. We reported the first case of C. valvarum infection in China clinically, with a rare complication of cerebral hemorrhage after MVR, TVP and vegetation removal operation. |

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 23 March 2018.
All research outputs
#20,469,520
of 23,028,364 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials
#537
of 611 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#293,590
of 332,500 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials
#13
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,028,364 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 611 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. 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 332,500 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 18 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.
