title: [Number of basophils and triglyceride levels in patients with gout].
abstract: Comparing a group of gouty patients with age and sex matched group of patients in a general medical ward without history of arthritis, we failed to confirm and increase in the absolute or relative basophil count. Total white cell count and packed cell volume were similar in both groups of patients. However, fasting serum triglyceride and serum uric acid were increased, as expected, in the gouty group.
