  • Title: [Systemic lupus erythematous and myasthenia gravis: case report].
    Author: de Carvalho MF, Abrahão TC, Assaf M.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1998 Mar; 56(1):137-40. PubMed ID: 9686137.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 24-year-old white woman admitted with a four year diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus and the recent onset of myasthenia gravis discussing the main differential diagnosis of weakness and fatigue in this patient. A review of literature approaching the association of myasthenia gravis and systemic lupus erythematosus is also done with emphasis on the clinical characteristics of these patients and the role of thymoma and thymectomy in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus in myasthenic patients.
