The role of vitamin D and fish oil supplementation in a critically ill myasthenia crisis patient: A case report

Background and objectives: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare, chronic autoimmune disease with an incidence of 1.7-28 cases per 1,000,000 person-years. It can progress to myasthenic crisis (MC), a life-threatening complication characterized by respiratory failure. Most MC patients require mechanical ventilation (MV) and often have trouble during MV weaning. This case report aims to describe the potential role of vitamin D and fish oil supplementation in facilitating MV weaning in a patient with MC in the intensive care unit (ICU).
