COVID‐19 in patients with myasthenia gravis: Epidemiology and disease course
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection, has become a global pandemic. Patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), often treated with immunosuppressants, might be at higher risk of developing COVID‐19 and of demonstrating a severe disease course. We aimed to study prevalence and describe features of COVID‐19 in MG patients.
