Flares are the commonest presentation of gout. Typically, gout flares present as acute mono-arthritis, and most often affect the first metatarsophalangeal joint (\"podagra\"). Other joints in the lower limbs are affected more often than those in the upper limbs. Joint aspiration followed by examination of the synovial fluid using a polarized light microscope is the gold standard for a definite diagnosis of gout. Gout may be diagnosed without recourse to joint aspiration if there is podagra, elevated serum urate, and no suspicion of infection. Ultrasonography and dual energy computed tomography may be used to diagnose gout if joint aspiration is unsuccessful or not feasible. Oral colchicine, NSAIDs, and glucocorticoids have similar efficacy for controlling gout flare with differing adverse effect profiles.

Over 90% of patients have pulmonary involvement, presenting with symptoms like dry cough and breathlessness, along with systemic signs such as fever and weight loss. Extrapulmonary manifestations occur in about 30% of cases and can affect any organ, including the heart, nervous system and eyes.

It is commonly divided into spontaneous and non-spontaneous subtypes based on the underlying mechanism. Chest X-ray is the most common investigation to diagnose and monitor pneumothorax, but CT-chest is being increasingly used to aid decision making in complex cases and to investigate an underlying lung disease. There should be a low threshold to investigate for an underlying familial or catamenial cause in suspected cases. Treatment for pneumothorax is based on clinical condition and symptoms of the patient rather than the size of pneumothorax. Conservative care can be offered to minimally symptomatic primary spontaneous pneumothorax patients, while needle aspiration, ambulatory Heimlich valve device and chest drain remain the interventional treatment options. Chest drain is a common treatment for patients with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax due to poor lung reserve. Recurrence after spontaneous pneumothorax is common and smoking cessation reduces the risk of future recurrence in active smokers.
