Abstract
Acute gout serves as a relatively well-defined paradigm for the review of the pathogenesis of acute microcrystal-induced inflammation. Inflammatory mediator systems activated directly or indirectly by urate crystals, the temporal events in a gouty paroxysm, and the possible factors responsible for the wide clinical variability of acute gout and other forms of crystal-induced inflammation are discussed.Entities:
