A 21-year-old caucasian man with T acute lymphoblastic leukemia underwent a bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and developed classic myasthenia gravis (MG) 46 months later. The association of almost all published cases with HLA B35 is discussed, as are the clinical aspects suggesting that BMT survivors are at risk for developing MG as part of the spectrum of chronic graft-versus-host disease.

D009157 Myasthenia Gravis A disorder of neuromuscular transmission characterized by fatigable weakness of cranial and skeletal muscles with elevated titers of ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS or muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) autoantibodies. Clinical manifestations may include ocular muscle weakness (fluctuating, asymmetric, external ophthalmoplegia; diplopia; ptosis; and weakness of eye closure) and extraocular fatigable weakness of facial, bulbar, respiratory, and proximal limb muscles. The disease may remain limited to the ocular muscles (ocular myasthenia). THYMOMA is commonly associated with this condition.
