Two‐decade battle with myasthenia gravis: A breakthrough case report on the long‐term success with eculizumab and ravulizumab treatment

This unique case of generalized myasthenia gravis shows sustained stability of a patient's condition for 3 years with eculizumab/ravulizumab treatment following 16 years of refractory disease. It highlights the long-term effectiveness of C5 inhibitors in a real-world setting, aiding physicians in their decision-making for refractory cases and treatment discontinuation scenarios.

Abstract

This unique case of generalized myasthenia gravis shows sustained stability of a patient's condition for 3 years with eculizumab/ravulizumab treatment following 16 years of refractory disease. It highlights the long-term effectiveness of C5 inhibitors in a real-world setting, aiding physicians in their decision-making for refractory cases and treatment discontinuation scenarios.
