Abstract

Gout is a common cause of inflammatory arthritis. The classical treatment options in an acute gout attack are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine, and corticosteroids. Interleukin-1 inhibition has been shown to be an effective alternative when non-biologic therapies are ineffective or contraindicated. Herein, we report the case of a 69-year-old female who presented with polyarticular tophaceous gout treated successfully with anakinra.
