الوصف: Introduction. Myasthenia gravis is an immune-mediated disease associated with a disorder of the neuromuscular junction. MG belongs to the group of chronic diseases with variable clinical courses. Patients struggling with this disease must remain under the constant care of a neurologist and take medications regularly.
