Abstract

Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon and recurrent neutrophilic dermatosis of unknown cause. The lesions usually start as tender sterile papulopustules or erythematous nodules that undergo necrosis followed by ulceration. The lower limbs are most commonly affected and around half of the cases are associated with systemic disorders. Although rare, cases of pyoderma gangrenosum with extramucocutaneous sterile neutrophilic infiltrate have been reported, with the lungs being the most commonly affected organ. We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum with splenic and renal impairment. Pyoderma gangrenosum should be considered a multisystemic disease with classic cutaneous manifestations and potential involvement of internal organs.

Attention Score in Context

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 19 December 2013.
All research outputs
#21,157,205
of 25,986,827 outputs
Outputs from Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia
#5
of 6 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#248,571
of 323,589 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia
#20
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,986,827 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.6. This one scored the same or higher as 1 of them.
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 323,589 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
