A total of 445 myasthenia gravis (MG) patients in which thymectomy was performed were included in this cohort. Nineteen patients (4.3%) developed a new autoimmune disease (AD) after thymectomy. The most common types of new onset ADs after thymectomy were Hashimoto's thyroiditis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which were different from those before ...
