ABSTRACT
A preterm newborn had transient neonatal myasthenia gravis and was mechanically ventilated for 9 days. In addition to the usual supportive care, she was treated with neostigmine and underwent two exchange transfusions. High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (2 gm/kg) was used for the first time in transient neonatal myasthenia gravis to the best of our knowledge. The clinical and laboratory responses are presented.
