Abstract excerpt
In a male patient multiple sclerosis was found to coexist with myasthenia. The symptoms of muscle fatiguability and of central nervous system damage developed at the same time. Multiple sclerosis was the predominating disease, especially in later stage of the disease. The authors discuss the possibility of a common immunological substrate for both conditions.
