| Abstract |
We present the first reported case of systemic infection with Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W-135 sequence type (ST)-11 in Japan. A 44-year-old woman presented with high fever, sore throat, and fatigue and was diagnosed with N. meningitidis bacteremia. The causative strain was identified as serogroup W-135 ST-11 by polymerase chain reaction and multilocus sequence typing. Approximately 1 month after treatment, she developed high fever, dyspnea, chest pain, and shoulder pain due to pericarditis, polyarthritis, and tenosynovitis, which are all relatively common immunoreactive complications of W-135 ST-11 meningococcal infections. This causative strain was the same as that responsible for an outbreak of meningitis among Hajj pilgrims in 2000. The strain is now found worldwide because it can attain a high carriage rate and has a long duration of carriage. We suspect that our patient's infection was acquired from an imported chronic carrier. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 04 November 2023.
All research outputs
#7,124,371
of 24,748,616 outputs
Outputs from Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases
#89
of 708 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,558
of 291,756 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases
#4
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,748,616 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 708 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% 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 291,756 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
