| Abstract |
| Gout is a disease caused by an inflammatory response to an aggregation of
monosodium urate crystals that develop secondary to hyperuricemia. Throughout
its natural history it has four stages: asymptomatic hyperuricemia, acute gouty
arthritis, intercritical gout, and chronic tophaceous gout. In this article, we
report the case of a patient who had asymptomatic hyperuricemia secondary to
pyrazinamide, which was prescribed for pulmonary tuberculosis, and had developed
an acute gouty arthritis immediately after the "Feast of Sacrifice" due to a dietary excess of purine. |
