| Abstract |
Hydatid cyst is an infectious disease characterized by cysts formed primarly within the gastrointestinal tract by echinococci. Hepatic hydatid disease, which is the most common form, remains asymptomatic until complications occur. In this report, we present an 80 years old patient who presented with a hepatic hydatid cyst which fistulized to the abdominal skin into the Emergency Department. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed inactive grade 5 cyst. Drainage without removal of the cyst failed to reveal active disease but the microbiological examination showed Klebsiella pneumonia that was sensitive to ampicillin-sulbactam as the causative agent. The treatment of the cyst with a combination of surgical and medical treatment was the successful treatment of Hepatic Hydatid Disease presenting with a cutaneous fistula. |

Attention Score in Context
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 29 September 2015.
All research outputs
#20,292,660
of 22,829,083 outputs
Outputs from SpringerPlus
#1,460
of 1,850 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#230,286
of 274,415 outputs
Outputs of similar age from SpringerPlus
#101
of 125 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,083 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 1,850 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. 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 274,415 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 125 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
