Description

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by fluctuating weakness involving ocular, bulbar, limb, and/or respiratory muscles.

Antibodies found in MG = (anti-AChR), (anti-MuSK), (anti-LRP4), antiagrin, anti-titin, (anti-RyR), anti-collagen Q, and (anti-KV1.4) antibodies.

MG is relatively uncommon with annual incidence 7-30 cases per million.

Can occur at any age but has bimodal distribution of 2nd and 3rd decade for females to 6th to 8th decade of life for males.

Myasthenia gravis can be precipitated by recent surgeries, illness or immunizations.
