Popis: Two boys, aged 2 and 11 years, presented with fever and muscle weakness that resulted in respiratory insufficiency. A physical examination and additional tests confirmed the diagnosis 'myasthenia'. Acetyl cholinesterase-inhibitor therapy had a favourable effect. Myasthenia is a diagnosis that should be considered for every child presenting with muscle weakness of unknown origin.
