Abstract
Clinical, electrophysiological, and laboratory data are reported on a 21‐year‐old black woman with systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, and Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome. The first two diseases are related by similar pathogenetic mechanisms. To our knowledge, this is the first patient reported with this unusual combination of rare diseases.Keywords
