    Abstract:
    A 29-year-old male patient with IgA nephropathy developed scleritis and myasthenia gravis during the follow-up period. No lymphocytic infiltration or atrophy in muscle fibers was observed in muscle biopsy specimens. However, an immunofluorescent study on the same specimens showed deposits of immunoglobulin A in muscular vessels. The development of scleritis and myasthenia gravis in a patient with IgA nephropathy suggests a common immunologic basis for these disorders.
