Autoantibody Profiles of Myasthenia Gravis, Thymoma & Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome
'Hot Topic' Points
July 2009
In this presentation I will discuss the individual antibody tests and their interpretation. I will discuss a recent change that now excludes testing for the AChR blocking antibody alone. And I will, finally, describe the revised diagnostic algorithms.
