case report
Published patient story
A case report is a detailed account of a single patient's medical condition, treatment, and outcome.
Common in medical literature, case reports document unusual presentations, rare diseases, or unexpected responses to treatment.
They serve as early signals in medicine—one well-documented case can alert clinicians to emerging patterns: The first case reports of AIDS appeared in 1981.
