Pembrolizumab-induced myasthenia gravis with respiratory involvement and favorable clinical outcome by Cristoss Gregory, Carey Fay MacDonald-Smith, Akhil Tomy, Tanushree Dewan, Jacob Sebastian, Lowri Davies

“…Studies suggest that patients treated with IVIG or plasmapheresis as first-line therapy have better outcomes than those receiving corticosteroids alone.3 In our case, combining high-dose steroids with IVIG, pyridostigmine, and mycophenolate mofetil led to a favourable outcome.Assessing pulmonary function with serial spirometry is critical for recognising impending respiratory failure, as demonstrated in our patient.2 While antibody testing can aid diagnosis, it is not essential, because irMG can occur without detectable autoantibodies.4 Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion and initiate early immunosuppression to mitigate the risk of severe complications. …”
