摘要：
Acute exacerbations of myasthenia gravis (MG) need effective and urgent treatment because of life-threatening hypoventilation. Plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) are both effective for acute MG. A new study suggests that these treatments produce similar patient outcomes and complications, with IVIg perhaps being superior from an economic perspective.
