Description |
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by the presence of auto-antibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). One can test for several types of AChR antibodies to make a successful MG diagnosis. This study aimed to examine whether antibody testing can be streamlined to what is crucial for diagnosis and whether prednisone and/or pyridostigmine were correlated with conversion from ocular to systemic MG. |
