To investigate the frequency, causes, and characteristic features of the course of isolated myasthenic crisis (defined as acute respiratory failure with the need for mechanical ventilation). To compare the effectiveness of three different therapeutic regimens (i.e., continuous intravenous infusion of pyridostigmine, pyridostigmine plus prednisolone ...

Predictors of outcome of myasthenic crisis
Neurological Sciences, 2014There is paucity of study on predictors of myasthenic crisis (MC), prolonged ventilation and their outcome, a reason why this study was undertaken. Sixty-four patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) were included whose median age was 45 (6-84) years. Their clinical treatment, presence of thymoma, anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody (AchRAb), thymectomy ...

Procainamide-Induced Myasthenic Crisis
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, 1990We describe a case of procainamide-induced respiratory failure in a myasthenic patient with no prior history of respiratory weakness. Respiratory failure was induced secondary to procainamide alone since no N-acetyl-procainamide level was detectable. The patient's strength rapidly improved and he was successfully extubated 12 h after the offending dose.

Heat-Induced Myasthenic Crisis
Archives of Neurology, 1980The deleterious effect of heat on the clinical symptoms and the electro-physiological abnormalities of myasthenia gravis is well established. 1-4 In most patients, an elevation in total body or regional temperature from exposure to heat in the environment produces an increase in weakness that is usually benign in nature.

Myasthenic crisis is the life threatening maximal manifestation of myasthenia gravis. Severe dysphagia and respiratory insufficiency demand admission to an intensive care unit (ICU). At variance, the timely recognition and treatment of myasthenic exacerbation may prevent a manifesting crisis.

Predictors of Outcome in Myasthenic Crisis
Muscle & NerveABSTRACTIntroduction/AimsThe impact of maintenance steroid sparing immunosuppression (SSIS) and prednisone dosage on myasthenic crisis (MC) outcomes and their effects on the development of sepsis have not been well described. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of these variables on MC outcomes.MethodsThis retrospective, multi‐center ...
