A New and Easily Used Modified Myasthenia Gravis Score

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a common postsynaptic neuromuscular junction disease in which fluctuating muscular fatigability is the clinical hallmark. The muscles of the eyelids, limbs, pharynx, and respiration are commonly involved in sequence corresponding to the disease severity. The prevalence of MG ranged from 2 to7 per 10,000 persons, and it was more prevalent in females. [1] Since MG is a chronic neuromuscular weakness with fluctuating severity, a validated and reliable tool to quantify the severity of muscle weakness at different timing during a patient's course of illness is required.
