    Author: Hrycek A.
    Journal: Pol Arch Med Wewn; 2009 Sep; 119(9):582-5. PubMed ID: 19776704.
    Abstract:
    This review summarizes current knowledge on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) coexisting with myasthenia gravis (MG). SLE can precede or follow the development of MG. SLE can also be observed in patients with MG following thymectomy. Overlapping signs and symptoms of a few different autoimmune diseases in a given patient are presented. Coexistence of SLE and MG is a rare phenomenon. It has already been observed; however, only sporadic clinical cases have been described.
