Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Article Description
We report a case of disseminated fusariosis in an 8-year-old boy with acute myelogenous leukaemia that occurred whilst the patient was severely neutropenic after high-dose chemotherapy. Lung involvement was associated with recurrent typical skin lesions. Despite a significant clinical and radiological improvement with voriconazole-based antifungal therapy, granulocyte transfusions (GTXs) and surgical excision of residual lesions were necessary to achieve a complete response before the patient proceeded to allogeneic stem-cell transplantation from an alternative donor. Voriconazole was continued for 6 months after transplant as secondary prophylaxis. After 15 months of follow-up, the patient is alive and well, and in complete remission of his underlying disease. Triazoles have the potential for improving the cure rate of Fusarium infections but both surgery and shortening the duration of neutropenia by GTXs are important factors in optimising the results. © 2009 Blackwell Verlag GmbH.
