| Abstract |
Tickborne encephalitis (TBE) virus infections can be asymptomatic or cause moderate to severe injuries of the central nervous system. Why some individuals develop severe disease is unknown, but a role for host genetic factors has been suggested. To investigate whether chemokine receptor CCR5 is associated with TBE, CCR5Delta32 genotyping was performed among Lithuanian patients with TBE (n=129) or with aseptic meningoencephalitis (n=76) as well as among control subjects (n=134). We found individuals homozygous for CCR5Delta32 (P= .026) only among patients with TBE and a higher allele prevalence among patients with TBE compared with the other groups studied. CCR5Delta32 allele prevalence also increased with the clinical severity of disease. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 16. 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 13 June 2018.
All research outputs
#2,202,259
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Infectious Diseases
#1,685
of 14,795 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#7,683
of 169,463 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Infectious Diseases
#17
of 67 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,795 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.4. 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 169,463 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 67 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
