Abstract

COVID-19 co-infection in patients with myasthenia gravis has not been well described.? Our primary aim is to describe the course of illness of a myasthenia patient who developed repeated episodes of myasthenic crisis along with severe COVID-19 infection.? This case highlights the need to accurately monitor the immune response to the infection and treatment of myasthenia gravis with COVID-19 should be tailored to the individual patient.
