What characterizes a case report?

Describes a unique condition in a large group
Compares different populations
Describes an adverse reaction or unique condition in a single patient
Combines results from multiple studies

The correct answer is: Describes an adverse reaction or unique condition in a single patient

A case report is a detailed description of a single patient's experience with an adverse reaction or a unique condition. This description includes their medical history, symptoms, and treatment. This option best fits the definition of a case report, as it focuses on a single patient and their individual experience. Option A is incorrect because a case report does not focus on a large group, but rather on a single patient. Option B is incorrect because a case report does not involve comparisons between different populations. Option D is incorrect because a case report does not combine results from multiple studies, but rather documents the experience of one patient.
