Respirology Case Reports (RCR) is an international open access journal publishing original clinical case reports, case series, clinical images, and clinical videos in all fields of respiratory medicine. We facilitate the international exchange between clinicians and researchers of experiences in diagnosing and treating uncommon diseases or diseases with unusual presentations. Cases with a strong educational value supported by a solid discussion will also be considered for publication.

Respirology Case Reports is the official case reports journal of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology.
