| Abstract |
We present an unusual presentation of a 39-year-old man with myalgias and shortness of breath. The patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of myalgias, shortness of breath and palpitations. During this hospitalization, he had multiple episodes of tachycardia and desaturation. The patient had elevated troponins and creatinine kinase. Differential diagnosis included pericarditis, pneumonia and malignancy. The patient had elevated ferritin and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The patient had adult Still's disease. This case shows how the presentation and symptom complex of Still's disease together with the lack of specific serological markers can misguide the diagnosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 29 August 2017.
All research outputs
#18,345,702
of 23,577,761 outputs
Outputs from International Medical Case Reports Journal
#239
of 393 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#235,191
of 326,324 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Medical Case Reports Journal
#5
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,761 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 393 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.3. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% 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 326,324 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
