  • Title: Muscle-specific kinase-antibody-positive myasthenia gravis after autologous bone marrow transplantation.
    Author: Grover KM, Sripathi N, Elias SB.
    Journal: J Clin Neuromuscul Dis; 2012 Mar; 13(3):146-8. PubMed ID: 22538309.
    Abstract:
    A 44-year-old man presented with oculobulbar weakness approximately 5 years after autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT). His workup led to the diagnosis of muscle-specific kinase-antibody-related myasthenia gravis (MG). There has been only one case report of muscle-specific kinase-antibody-positive MG after BMT, which was allogeneic. We report the first case of autologous BMT-associated MG with muscle-specific kinase antibody. The pathogenic mechanisms of immune dysregulation leading to MG after BMT are discussed.
