The authors have examined the incidence of the rheumatoid factor in the serum of a group of 100 patients, 95 males and 5 females, suffering from gout, of whom only 6 suffered from chronic gout. The rheumatoid factor in the serum was measured by RA-test (1:40) and by Waaler-Rose test (1:32). The rheumatoid factor was not present in the examined subjects and so we can state that such serum parameter does not represent, for its negativity, a laboratory index of any evidence in the gout and it doesn't represent a reason for diagnostic doubts with other forms with the rheumatoid factor in the serum.

Abstract
The authors have examined the incidence of the rheumatoid factor in the serum of a group of 100 patients, 95 males and 5 females, suffering from gout, of whom only 6 suffered from chronic gout. The rheumatoid factor in the serum was measured by RA-test (1:40) and by Waaler-Rose test (1:32). The rheumatoid factor was not present in the examined subjects and so we can state that such serum parameter does not represent, for its negativity, a laboratory index of any evidence in the gout and it doesn't represent a reason for diagnostic doubts with other forms with the rheumatoid factor in the serum.
