Between 1982 and 1988 24 women and 6 men with myasthenia gravis were included in a prospective and standardized diagnostic and therapeutic protocol. Age varied between 10 and 74 years (34 +/- 16, mean +/- standard deviation). Three patients with the ocular form were treated with pyridostigmine. Four patients with the generalized form and advanced age received steroids and/or azathioprine. Twenty-three patients with the generalized form underwent thymectomy followed by prednisone and/or azathioprine. One patient died after complex thymectomy for invasive thymoma. Another died soon after admission in myasthenic/cholinergic crisis. Two other patients had minor complications of thymectomy. Of 19 patients followed for 1-60 (mean 24) months, 11 (58%) are in remission, one of them without any medication. |
