摘要
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease mediated by B cells and is associated with acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibodies in the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, such as ofatumumab demonstrated promising disease control in MG patients. We presented the rare case of a 34-year-old female with acetylcholine receptor-positive myasthenia gravis (AChR-MG), concomitant with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and metastatic thyroid carcinoma, who was treated with ofatumumab and exhibited improvements during follow-up.
