Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Case Description
We report a case of a 50-year-old shepherd hospitalized in intensive care unit for hiatal hernia complicated by an occlusive syndrome. In post-surgery, an acute respiratory distress occurs due to mediastinitis with large pleural effusion. At the laboratory, direct examination of the pleural sample revealed the presence of pseudohyphae. Kazachstania slooffiae was identified by Mass Spectrometry and confirmed by DNA sequencing. This uncommon yeast has never been previously described in human infections. Although its pathogenicity is not well known, K. slooffiae should be considered in the case of critically ill patients.
