- Abstract
The article presents a case study in rheumatology on the treatment of chronic tophaceous gout with infliximab. In the case of a patient with refractory chronic tophaceous gout treatment with infliximab resulted in a fast improvement of the polyarticular inflammation. However, parameters of secondary renal amyloidosis did not respond to the treatment. This case corresponds in which the case of a patient was described, whose refractory, recurrent gouty attacks responded to a treatment with etanercept.
