Therapy of Respiratory Complications in Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia gravis is responsible for damaging the neurosurgical structures in charge of producing and supporting the breathing process. Plasmapheresis is the procedure that non selectively removes the potentially pathological elements from the blood.It is done extracorporeally, and has multiple clinical applications, especially in situations when intensive care is required. In patients with moderate or severe forms, or with no favourable therapeutic response to cholinesterase inhibitors, corticosteroids and / or immunosuppressive therapy are administered.
