Abstract
Cutaneous manifestations at the time of CF diagnosis are rare.
To describe the case of an infant with an unusual cutaneous presentation of cystic fibrosis.
The case is presented of an infant with delayed physical growth at two months, and at the age of four months, presented with a skin rash and gray hair. Tests revealed the presence of hypoproteinemia and anemia, with the diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis being confirmed by genetic testing. The rash was completely resolved after pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. This is the second gray hair case reported in children with this disease.
Metabolic diseases such as cystic fibrosis should be suspected in malnourished children who develop skin disorders.
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 01 August 2015.
All research outputs
#23,641,260
of 26,316,305 outputs
Outputs from Revista chilena de pediatría
#468
of 658 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#311,848
of 363,159 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista chilena de pediatría
#9
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,316,305 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 658 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 363,159 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
