Q

Swollen painful toe after a weekend of vacation. Initial Tx? What don’t you use?

A

Gout (brought on from drinking and red meat consumption). Joint aspiration shows neutrophils with negatively birefringent (yellow in parallel light) needle shaped crystals.

Q

Swollen painful toe after a weekend of vacation. Secondary Tx? Why don’t you use initially? Mechanism?

A

Gout. Use Allopurinol or Febuxostat (Xanthine Oxidase inhibitors producing less Uric acid). Don’t use initially as they can increase chance for a gout precipitation (occurs when levels fluctuate up or DOWN).
