Abstract
Not all gout presents with involvement of the big toe, and not all gout pat
ients are middle-aged men. Chronic gout may mimic rheumatoid arthritis; hyp
eruricemia may develop in postmenopausal women and in organ transplant reci
pients who are being treated with immunosuppressive agents. Both classic an
d nonclassic cases may benefit from new therapeutic agents.
