Article Synopsis
- Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the nerves, making it hard for muscles to work properly, and researchers tested a high-dose chemotherapy treatment on a patient with severe MG who didn’t get better with other treatments.
- The patient received chemotherapy and a procedure to help her immune system recover, and after this treatment, she started feeling better really quickly and stayed symptom-free for a long time.
- The study suggests that this new treatment may help some people with severe MG, and there's interest in doing more research to see if it works for others with the same problem.
