| Abstract |
This article presents a case of a 17-year-old girl with primary antiphospholipid syndrome developing subacute signs of hand and leg ischaemia caused by radiologically verified radial and popliteal artery occlusion. She is successfully treated with a thrombolytic agent (alteplase) and recovers completely. Her laboratory results came positive for all three subtypes of antiphospholipid antibodies. This kind of antiphospholipid syndrome presentation is a very rare entity in itself. Shortly afterwards her mother is diagnosed with primary antiphospholipid syndrome as well. A familial form of antiphospholipid syndrome is suspected. Combination of a familial antiphospholipid syndrome presenting as bivessel arterial thrombosis is a unique case, to the best of our knowledge, never described in the literature before. |

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 26 December 2011.
All research outputs
#15,240,835
of 22,660,862 outputs
Outputs from Rheumatology International
#1,529
of 2,170 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#162,702
of 243,133 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Rheumatology International
#35
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,660,862 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,170 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% 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 243,133 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
