    Author: Birnberger KL, Struppler A.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1976 Dec 17; 118(51):1653-6. PubMed ID: 187931.
    Abstract:
    The types of symptoms of myasthenia (Ossermann), specific problems of myasthenia therapy and the fundamental principles of treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors are discussed. In addition to the improved techniques in the observation room, the consistent performance of an immunosuppressive therapy usually leads to improvement of the prognosis of severe myasthenia. The principles of cortisone and Imurek therapy are commented on and the indication for thymectomy are discussed.
