Two cases of coexistent gout and septic arthritis are presented. The known increased incidence of joint injections in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is contrasted with the relative rarity of this complication in persons with gouty arthritis. The reason for this dichotomy is not clear but it is suggested that an important factor may be the more episodic nature of the gouty process. For patients presenting with acute arthritis the possible concurrence of sepsis and gout should be considered.
本文报告了两例痛风与化脓性关节炎并存的病例。类风湿关节炎患者关节注射的已知发病率增加，与之形成对比的是，痛风性关节炎患者出现这种并发症的情况相对罕见。这种差异的原因尚不清楚，但有人认为一个重要因素可能是痛风病程更具发作性。对于出现急性关节炎的患者，应考虑败血症和痛风同时存在的可能性。
