Case report format

A case report format is a structured way to document an individual patient's medical history, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. It typically includes sections like the introduction, which explains the significance of the case; the patient information, detailing demographics and medical background; the clinical findings, which describe symptoms and examinations; the diagnosis established; the treatment administered; and the follow-up, noting the results. Finally, a discussion provides insights and implications for medical practice. This format helps healthcare professionals share unique cases that may contribute to medical knowledge and improve patient care.
