description Two months previously he had been investigated for these constitutional symptoms with plain radiographs, a bone scan, abdominal ultrasound, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reactive protein (CRP), serum electrophoresis, urinary Bence Jones protein, uric acid, prostatic specific antigen (PSA), rheumatoid factor, iron studies, liver function tests, complete blood picture, and serum calcium. There are also case reports of the coexistence of myasthenia in patients with scleroderma, 4 ankylosing spondylitis, 3 psoriatic arthritis 5 and juvenile chronic arthritis. 6 In addition, arthralgias have been noted during the active phase of myasthenia gravis. 2 Although the precise diagnosis of our patient's arthritis remains unclear, the distribution, mode and age of onset suggest a diagnosis of late onset RA.
