[Venous participation in gonarthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout].

The authors describe three major rheumatological classifications together with an account of the phlebological aspects of these phenomena. They deal with gonarthrocace, which is predominantly stasis; rheumatoid arthritis, which may be induced by inflammatory injuries to the vein wall, by endothelitis of the venulo-capillary segments, or racemose lividity; and gout which mainly involves turgescence, and mural phlebitis. This is not forgetting the secondary classifications, associated with polyglobulism, anemia, and foranioplasia.
