Autoimmune and Non-Autoimmune Comorbidities in Myasthenic Patients of East-European Descent: a Case-Control Study

Source : https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/8/2273

Background: As the life expectancy of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) is improving, so the number of comorbidities continues to rise, with a potentially significant impact on the overall morbidity...

Experiences with healthcare professionals were considered insufficient and failed to provide disease specific advice regarding myasthenia gravis and physical activity.
