Abstract
- Gout and systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)are relatively common diseases in rheumatism.But the case of coexistent gout and SLE is extremely rare.The rarity is that may be due to misdiagnosis and disparity of the epidemiology.It is suggested that immulonogic milieu in SLE and therapy for SLE may have a negative effect on the manifestations of gout.Especially,hyperuricemia that not caused by nephritis,renal failure,use of diuretics,alcohol drinking and other risk factors in premenopausal women is extremely rare.We experienced two cases of chronic tophaceous gout in female patients with SLE who did not have other hyperuricemic risk factors.
