 Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis caused by crystallization of uric acid in the joints or soft tissues. It is more prevalent in developed countries than developing ones, but the latter face a greater burden due to lack of access to proper medical care. Risk factors include obesity, high alcohol consumption, diabetes, and certain medications. Gout can cause severe pain, swelling, and stiffness in the affected joints, as well as fever, chills, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves physical examination, blood tests, and imaging scans. Treatment includes a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, colchicine, and allopurinol. Economically priced generic versions of these drugs are available in many developing countries, making them accessible to those who cannot afford expensive brand names.
