Abstract
A man with ocular myasthenia gravis had rapidly progressing pulmonary hemorrhage, acute renal failure, arthralgias and palpable purpura. Lung and skin biopsy specimens and subsequent autopsy revealed immunopathological changes consistent with immune complex disease. Patients with myasthenia gravis may represent a group at risk for immune complex disease.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
