Paediatric Cases

Case Reports
 A case report provides important and detailed information about an individual, which is often lost in larger studies. Accurate recounting of clinical experience continues to be essential to the progress of medicine.

Case reports can be based on rare or common disorders. Some of the reports that are accessible in this section were presented at Grand Rounds of the ERS Annual Congress while others were especially designed for online viewing. These cases fall into several categories and reflect the broad scope of topics covered by the ERS.
