Ref. Guyton. 13th edition. Page.  96 Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibodies against the acetylcholine (ACh) receptor of the neuromuscular junction, result- ing in muscular weakness predominantly affecting the facial muscles. Females are affected more frequently than males. Extra ocular muscle weakness may lead to ptosis and diplopia; the weakness worsens with repeated contractions. Respiratory muscle involvement may lead to death.
