How to write case reports

About this video

Case reports provide valuable information by throwing light on rare and unusual clinical presentations, symptoms or diseases. They show doctors how fellow practitioners have acted in similar situations and thus aid in the decision-making process by sharing best practices. 

The importance of case reports is resonated in the number of high-quality journals solely devoted to publishing case reports. However, the publication of the case reports is highly dependent on the contribution they make and their quality.

In this webinar, two editors of Medical Mycology Case Reports journal provide a guide to writing case reports and encourage you to summarize your clinical experiences while getting a publication in the process. You will come away with the knowledge of setting up and writing a case report, ethical issues to be considered before the publication and how to select an appropriate journal to publish your case report.
