Frequency and Severity of Myasthenia Gravis Exacerbations Associated With the Use of Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, and Azithromycin

Usage of ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, or azithromycin was associated with MG exacerbation in less than 2.5% of episodes of antibiotic use. Underlying infection may play a role in AAMGE. As AAMGE can be severe, decision-making regarding the use of these antibiotics should be individualized.
