Clinical and immune-related factors associated with exacerbation in adults with well-controlled generalized myasthenia gravis
Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2023.1177249/full
ObjectivesTo describe the clinical predictors and immune-related factors for exacerbation in adults with well-controlled generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 585 adults with well-controlled GMG from our...
Conclusion: Myasthenia gravis (MG) exacerbations were more frequent in those patients with older onset age, longer disease duration, more severe MGFA classification, positive AChR-ab, and lack of combined immunotherapy or thymectomy treatment. On the other hand, CD3–CD19+ B cells, CD3+CD8+ T cells, Tregs, and AChR-ab in peripheral blood may...
