Gouty arthritis in the black race.
This review of 65 black-black patients with gout, in contrast to tan or tinted, is presented to emphasize the universal nature of the disease, irrespective of race or geographic region. One case of a female who delivered a living child 4 yr after her initial attack of gout is reported. No case of gout secondary to chronic renal disease, or to a blood dyscrasia, including sickle cell disease, was discovered. Except for the race, aberrant sex distribution and low incidence of urate stones, this series is not unlike a series of white gout patients.
