Conclusions: Overdiagnosis of MG is not uncommon, and occurs more frequently in seronegative patients. To make an accurate diagnosis of MG, there is a need to recognize atypical presentations, and avoid overreliance on minor or non-specific serological and electrodiagnostic findings.

Conclusions: Anxiety and depression are a major concern among MG individuals. The estimation of both anxiety and depression are high even when compared to other autoimmune diseases. It seems depression and anxiety are important issues and more attention needs to be paid to these psychiatric disorders.
Iron metabolism patterns in non-anemic patients with myasthenia gravis: A cross-sectional and follow-up study
Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2022.1060204/full
Background and purposeIron metabolism in myasthenia gravis (MG) and factors associated with it are explored by few published studies.
Conclusions: Iron inadequacy was present in patients with MG, particularly premenopausal female patients, and it would hardly improve after immunotherapy. Given the significant role of iron in human body, it should be given more attention in patients with MG.
