Title	Fungal Endocarditis

Abstract	Fungal endocarditis is a rare and fatal condition. The Candida and Aspergillus species are the two most common etiologic fungi found responsible for fungal endocarditis. Fever and changing heart murmur are the most common clinical manifestations. Some patients may have a fever of unknown origin as the onset symptom. The diagnosis of fungal endocarditis is challenging, and diagnosis of prosthetic valve fungal endocarditis is extremely difficult. The optimum antifungal therapy still remains debatable. Treating Candida endocarditis can be difficult because the Candida species can form biofilms on native and prosthetic heart valves. Combined treatment appears superior to monotherapy. Combination of antifungal therapy and surgical debridement might bring about better prognosis.

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 20 April 2018.

All research outputs

#6,377,546

of 21,094,310 outputs

Outputs from Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular

#15

of 169 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#133,155

of 398,184 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular

of 1 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 21,094,310 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 169 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% 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 398,184 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 65% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
