Abstract
The presentation of a 56-year-old woman with coexisting hyperthyroid Graves' disease and motor neurone disease is described. Circulating immune complexes were detected in the serum of seven patients with motor neurone disease (five cases) or primary lateral sclerosis (two cases), including a man with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
