Muscle involvement in myasthenia gravis: Expanding the clinical spectrum of myasthenia-myositis association from a large cohort of patients

Minimal muscle involvement and focal myositis could be underestimated among myasthenic patients and early aggressive immunotherapy could be required in focal group.Graphical abstract
