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.
