CASE REPORT a published exposition of a patient's medical history (physical findings, course and management of care), providing the reader with sufficient information to understand the patient's health problems and the methods suggested to solve them.(Woncadic)
case ; A particular disease, health disorder, or condition under investigation found in an individual or within a population or study group. A person having a particular disease, disorder or condition (e.g., a case of cancer, a case in a case-control study). A variety of criteria may be used to identify cases; e.g., individual physicians’ diagnoses, registries and notifications, abstracts of clinical records, surveys of the general population, surveillance systems, screening programs. (Dicepid)
Case report; An approach that uses in-depth investigation of one or more examples of a current social phenomenon, utilizing a variety of sources of data. A ‘case' can be an individual person, an event, or a social activity, group, organization or institution. A major feature of the case study, according to Hakim (2000), is its flexibility. It can range from a simple narrative description to a very rigorous study achieving experimental isolation by the selection of cases on the basis of the presence or absence of key factors rather than the use of random assignment. A case study can involve a single case (for example, a community study or a ‘sociobiography' of a member of a deviant subculture) or a number (possibly quite large) of cases (for example, in the analysis of the conflict behaviour of different types of work groups).(Sage dictionary)
