Causes of death in myasthenia gravis patients

Causes of death other than related to myasthenic crisis or thymoma are rarely reported in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. We reviewed records of 580 patients observed at our Department over the 30 years period from 1972 to 2001. We analysed data on the disease onset and duration, sex of the patients, type of MG, therapy applied, presence of thymoma, and the cause of death.
