L'association lupus erythemateux dissemine-myasthenie: a propos d'un cas, avec revue de la litterature

ABSTRACT

The myasthenia often is distinguished by the coexistence of other affections which too have an immunologic origin wether proved or probable. The authors report here a myasthenia case found in a patient with lupus disease. Through a literature review about such coexistence, they discuss the relationship between the myasthenia and the lupus. They base their argument as well on statistical, immunologic and genetic data as on the part the thymus plays in the two dideases
