title: Acute gouty arthritis during pyrazinamide treatment: a case report.
abstract: Abstract Gout is a disease caused by an inflammatory response to an aggregation of monosodium urate crystals that develop secondary to hyperuricemia. Throughout its natural history it has four stages: asymptomatic hyperuricemia, acute gouty arthritis, intercritical gout, and chronic tophaceous gout. In this article, we report the case of a patient who had asymptomatic hyperuricemia secondary to pyrazinamide, which was prescribed for pulmonary tuberculosis, and had developed an acute gouty arthritis immediately after the "Feast of Sacrifice" due to a dietary excess of purine.
