| Popis: |
Coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis and gout is considered as rare however some patients may gather both diseases. Long-term treatment with Methotrexate may cause pulmonary pathology. We report a case of a 48-year-old Algerian woman with medical history (swelling of knee and joint pain in the shoulders and hands) diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), after 3 years of self-medication with Methotrexate; she returned with hyperurecimia that confirmed the co-presence of the gout and RA as well as a pneumonia confirmed with clinical sign and chest X-Ray. Methotrexate dose compliance can reduce adverse effects. Keywords: Rheumatoid arthritis; Gout; Pneumonia; Methotrexate; Toxicity. |
