The traps that quietly cost points
These are the point-loss patterns iHuman never tells you about. We map every one for this case.
⚠
Joint aspiration with negatively birefringent needle-shaped crystals = definitive diagnosis
⚠
Serum uric acid may be NORMAL during acute flare — do not use to rule out gout
⚠
Acute: NSAIDs or colchicine first-line — do NOT start allopurinol during acute flare
⚠
Allopurinol started 2 weeks after flare resolution with colchicine prophylaxis
⚠
Must assess for tophi on exam — ears, elbows, fingers, Achilles tendon
