Patient-Oriented Problem Solving (POPS) Case Report Series:
POPS FROM THE PAST
‘Everything Old is New Again’
The Patient-Oriented Problem Solving (POPS) Case Report section, first introduced in the Proceedings in 2007, is an innovative and practical learning experience for the allergist-immunologist, the fellow in-training, all health care practitioners and students. The section uses a format of clinical presentation, physical findings, appropriate laboratory studies and differential diagnosis to arrive at the correct diagnosis. The case development proceeds in a logical sequence, withholding the diagnosis until the end of the presentation leading the reader to engage in diagnosis and patient management in a real-world situation. Over the past 25 years, a series of 70 POPS articles have been published. The Editors are pleased to present the entire series of articles as a “POPS FROM THE PAST” compendium of articles commemorating a quarter century of learning experiences for the readership.
