The primary purpose of Breathe is educational. Consequently, cases should be chosen for their clinical relevance and educational value, not for their rarity. Interactive case articles may be up to 3,000 words in length (excluding references, tables and figures) and should make full use of measurements, laboratory results and images from diagnostic tests. The case should be presented in a chronological manner, interspersed with interactive questions and explanatory answers concerning the best way to proceed given the data so far, and possible diagnoses. The article should conclude with a discussion of the case in question and general topics related to it. The author of the best case report each year will be awarded their choice of ERS Handbook or ERS Monograph.
Terms and Conditions: The best case report will be judged by the Chief Editor. The judge's decision is final. One copy of an ERS Handbook or ERS Monograph from available stock will be offered to the submitting author of the winning case report. All case reports should be submitted via mc.manuscriptcentral.com/edu and will be peer reviewed and published in the next available issue or online if deemed appropriate.
