| Abstract |
Antibiotic neurotoxicity is rare but can cause significant morbidity when it occurs. The risk of antibiotic neurotoxicity appears to be highest in patients who are older, have impaired renal function, or have preexisting neurologic conditions. This review describes the clinical features of the most common antibiotic toxicities affecting the nervous system: seizures, encephalopathy, optic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, and exacerbation of myasthenia gravis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 20 October 2023.
All research outputs
#14,703,908
of 25,874,560 outputs
Outputs from Current Infectious Disease Reports
#332
of 531 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#129,910
of 275,279 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Infectious Disease Reports
#3
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,874,560 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 531 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.5. 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 275,279 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 52% of its contemporaries.
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 done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
