Thymic abnormality with increased numbers of germinal centres is common, thymoma occurs in about 15% of cases, and thymectomy is often beneficial in thosewithoutatumour.

متن کاملMyasthenia gravis patients with anti-MuSK antibodies.
In myasthenia gravis (MG) patients without detectable anti-acetylcholine receptor (anti-AChR) antibody, referred to as seronegative myasthenia gravis patients, there is a variable proportion of patients with antibodies against the muscle-specific kinase (MuSK). MuSK antibodies were found in 8 (29.6%) of our 27 patients with generalized MG without anti-AChR antibodies. All these patients were fe...
متن کاملO 29: Autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis Introduction, Immunopathogenesis and Classification
Autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a unique disease among all autoimmune disorders in two ways. First, there are a wide range of sub-specialties involved in the diagnosis and management of MG; secondly MG is an autoimmune disorder whose autoimmunity is well established. In this paper I will cover these topics: history and epidemiology of MG followed by a brief overview on physiology of neurom...
متن کاملMYASTHENIA GRAVIS AND THYMECTOMY: A 10-YEAR STUDY IN SHIRAZ
A retrospective comparative study was performed on 54 patients treated medically or surgically (thymectomy) for myasthenia gravis (MG) from 1979- 1989 in three Shiraz University Hospitals. Each surgical patient was compared with a medical patient on the basis of age, sex, severity and duration of disease. Complete remission was noted in 3 out of 27 thymectomized patients but in none of the...
