Myasthenia gravis in the majority of patients is a well treatable neurological autoimmune disorder with a prevalence of 60-150 per million. For the treatment of myasthenic crisis in the intensive care unit the use of therapeutic apheresis, e. g. immunoadsorption or plasma exchange, is well established due to its rapid therapeutic effect, whereas the necessity in long term treatment is still questioned. Aim of this retrospective cohort-study was the assessment of patients with refractory myasthenia gravis in Germany treated by regular immunoadsorption, the characterization of previous therapies and the efficacy of long-term treatment.
