Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit the neurology department. Could you please tell me which type of hypersensitivity myasthenia gravis belongs to?Doctor's answer:
Myasthenia gravis is not an allergic reaction. This disease is an autoimmune disorder related to abnormal neuromuscular junctions. Patients may experience symptoms such as weakness and fatigue, and some may have a pattern of worsening symptoms in the evening. If the patient has already been diagnosed with the disease, hormone drugs and cholinesterase inhibitors can be used for treatment. If the patient also has thymic fibrosis, surgical removal of the thymus can be considered as a treatment option.
