Twenty-one of 29 patients suffering from myasthenia gravis derived benefit from a short intensive course of adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH). The mean duration of benefit was approximately six months. The best results were obtained in patients with a short history of myasthenia. Transient deterioration during the course of injections was encountered in some cases but necessitated assisted respiration only in patients with severe generalized weakness before treatment.
