How to write a case report?

Here's a step-by-step approach to writing a case report:

• 01

  To reflect the nature of the case report, the phrase "a case report" must be included in the title. Select appropriate keywords from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), ensuring relevance to the case title to improve searchability and indexing. The patient consent form must be comparable to the uploaded sample consent form in order to ensure compliance with ethical principles governing patient rights and confidentiality.

• 02

  Patient information:  The patient's case needs to be detailed, including time, modalities, and extensions. The case must include information regarding both physical generals (appetite, thirst, sleep, and energy levels) and mental generals (emotions, fears, and overall mental state). Along with this take personal, family, and past history may also be recorded.

• 03

  Clinical findings:  Laboratory results and diagnostic photographs, such as relevant photos, histopathology slides, and other diagnostic tests, that have relevance to the primary diagnosis must be scanned and kept ready for uploading. Reports are to be arranged chronologically and include supporting documentation for stated recoveries.

• 04

  Homoeopathic assessment:  The repertorial chart and any additional relevant information needs to be uploaded. Prevalent Miasm must be identified and recorded for acceptable reasons based on an in-depth evaluation of the case history and symptomatology, as well as a comprehensive investigation.

• 05

  Follow-up and outcomes:  Follow-up entries must include essential information such as the date, prescription details, potency, dosage, prescription basis, and clinical outcomes. It is recommended that the Case reports may use the modified Naranjo criteria to ensure that the status of the case at baseline and follow up are at least recorded with scores, to validation the prescription rationale and clinical outcome scales.
