Abstract:
A 48-year-old man presented with the first symptoms of myasthenia gravis one month after a general anesthesia and a second dose of hepatitis B plasma vaccine. Whether either event may have acted as a nonspecific challenge to the patient's immune system is speculative, but the case is described to discover similar observations, if any.
