  • Title: Neonatal myasthenia gravis. Anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies in the amniotic fluid.
    Author: Morel E, Bach JF, Briard ML, Aubry JP.
    Journal: J Neuroimmunol; 1984 Aug; 6(5):313-7. PubMed ID: 6746895.
    Abstract:
    Neonatal myasthenia gravis (NMG) with mild arthrogryposis was observed at birth in the newborn infant of a myasthenic mother. Anti-acetylcholine receptor (anti-AChR) antibodies were present in the serum of both mother and child, in umbilical cord serum and in the amniotic fluid. The presence of anti-AChR antibodies in the amniotic fluid may be one of the causes of the NMG.
