[Gout and hyperuricemia in Tananarive (Madagascar) (author's transl)].
Review of 41 cases observed in "Girard et Robic hospital", Tananarive (35 cases of plain articular gout either acute or chronic, and 6 cases of latent hyperuricemia).--Gout and hyperuricemia are frequently observed within Malagasy high-lands Merina population.--Women and even, in exceptional cases, children may be affected. A responsible hereditary factor is probably associated with the side effects of food habits (diet rich in rice, local vegetables, zebu meat and pork; beverages are not abundant).
