Patients with myasthenia gravis as seen by a urologist

Myasthenia gravis is a neurological autoimmune disease characterized by muscle fatigue. There are two clinical forms: ocular and generalized. The disease should be both diagnosed and treated in myasthenia centres. Myasthenia patients tend to have urinary tract symptoms; therefore, for a urologist, it is important to recognize the symptoms of myasthenia gravis that has not yet been diagnosed. In the treatment of urological diseases in these patients, avoid medication that is contraindicated and/or could lead to worsening of myasthenia symptoms.
