    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Abbiamo studiato gli effetti della somministrazione di immunoglobuline (Ig) ad alto dosaggio per via endovenosa in 12 pazienti affetti da forme gravi di miastenia. Gli anticorpi anti-recettore dell'acetilcolina erano assenti in due casi. Al momento dell'infusione, 9 pazienti erano già in trattamento immunosoppressivo cronico, 3 pazienti erano in terapia con azatioprina da pochi giorni. 10 casi (83%) presentarono un evidente miglioramento clinico, la cui durata era maggiore nei pazienti in cui era già in atto un'immunosoppressione farmacologica. Dopo l'infusione di Ig, si ègeneralmente verificata una riduzione del tasso sierico di anticorpi anti-recettore; l'associazione fra questo reperto ed il miglioramento clinico non è stata, comunque, costante. Tra le complicaze, abbiamo osservato una grave emolisi. Nella nostra esperienza l'infusione di Ig si è dimostrata una terapia efficace nella MG. Riteniamo che la sua principale indicazione riguardi il trattamento di fasi di peggioramento della malattia in pazienti già in terapia immunosoppressiva.
    Notes: Abstract The effects of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (i.v.Ig) in 12 MG patients were studied. All patients had severe symptoms. In two cases anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies (anti-AChR abs) were not detectable. I.V.Ig was administered to 9 patients already on long-term immunosuppressive therapy and to 3 patients at the beginning of azathioprine treatment. 10 patients (83%) improved; the duration of improvement was longer in immunosuppressed patients. Anti-AChR abs generally decreased after infusion but we did not find a constant correlation between reduction in ab titers and clinical improvement. Side effects included one case of severe hemolysis. In our experience i.v.Ig therapy is effective in MG. The chief indication for its use appears to be the treatment of deteriotation of the disease in patients already on immunosuppressive therapy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ein Patient mit Myasthenia gravis kann auch dann, wenn er sich anscheinend von der Erkrankung vollständig erholt hat, Rückfälle aufweisen. Es ist offensichtlich, daß eine klinische Remission durchaus nicht mit der Normalisierung aller beim Krankheitsprozeß mitwirkenden pathogenetischen Faktoren identisch ist. Bei 10 Patienten, die klinisch scheinbar geheilt waren, wurden elektromyographische Untersuchungen mit repetitiver supramaximaler Reizung ausgeführt sowie die Antiacethylcholinrezeptorenantikörper bestimmt. Zwei der 10 Patienten wiesen normale elektromyographische Befunde und das Fehlen zirkulierender Antiacethylcholinrezeptorenantikörper auf. Die Autoren formulieren die Annahme, daß für diese zwei Individuen das Rückfallrisiko niedriger als bei den anderen ist.
    Notes: Summary A myasthenia gravis (MG) patient who seems to have recovered can later have recurrence of myasthenic signs. Clearly clinical remission does not always correspond to the normalization of all the factors involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. In ten patients who had apparently recovered from MG, electromyographic tests of repetitive supramaximal stimulation were performed and the anti-acetylcholine receptor (anti-AChR) antibody was assessed. In two of the ten patients all these tests were normal, thus showing lack of electromyographic myasthenic fatigability and the absence of circulating anti-AChR antibodies. Our hypothesis is that for these two subjects the risk of a recurrence of MG is lower than for the others.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Antikörper gegen Acetylcholin-Rezeptoren wurden quantitativ im Serum von 63 Patienten mit Myasthenia Gravis und von 20 gesunden Kontrollpersonen bestimmt. Der Titer war bei 92% der Myasthenie Gravis-Patienten signifikant erhöht, jedoch bei keinem der Kontrollfälle. Es wurde keine Korrelation zwischen dem Titer einerseits und den pathologischanatomischen Besonderheiten beziehungsweise dem klinischen Schweregrad der Erkrankung andererseits festgestellt. Der Titer nahm nach Thymektomie ziemlich geradlinig ab, parallel zur klinischen Besserung der Myasthenie. Es wird die Rolle der Antikörper bei der Pathogenese der Erkrankung diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The antiacetylcholine receptor antibody was titered in the serum of 63 patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and 20 control healthy subjects. The titer was significantly high in 92% of MG patients in contrast with none of the controls and no correlation was found with the thymus pathology and the severity of the disease. The titer decreased after thymectomy almost steadily with the improvement of the myasthenic signs. The role of the antibody in the pathogenesis of the disease is discussed.
