HHV-6B, HHV-7, and B19V Are Frequently Found DNA Viruses in the Human Thymus but Show No Definitive Link with Myasthenia Gravis

2024-07-03

Abstract excerpt

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder characterised by autoantibodies that target components of the neuromuscular junction, primarily the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), resulting in muscle weakness. The thymus plays a significant role in MG pathogenesis, particularly in patients under the age of 50, who display pathological alterations and possess elements conducive to autoimmune reactions. Although vir...
