| Abstract |
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is an important fundamental cytokine during the immune response against cancer and infections such as tuberculosis. This molecule also plays a key pathogenic role in complex and difficult-to-treat diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis and ulcerative colitis. The treatment of these diseases frequently needs TNF-α antagonists, which has been related to an increased risk of developing tuberculosis, mycoses, and other severe infections.We report the case of a 68-year-old man with Crohn's disease, who developed disseminated tuberculosis due to anti-TNF-α immunosuppressive therapy. The diagnosis was based on the histopathological findings and molecular biology assays.We discuss the clinical presentation and workup of this case, and we present a comparative analysis of tuberculosis cases associated with anti-TNF-α reported in Colombia during the last 10 years emphasizing on the diagnosis and treatment of latent tuberculosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 09 May 2018.
All research outputs
#7,028,608
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Biomédica
#180
of 848 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#117,641
of 351,767 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biomédica
#6
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 848 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% 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 351,767 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 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
