Serum thymic hormone activity was measured in 36 patients with myasthenia gravis and in 10 control subjects from each age decade. In all 25 patients under 50 years of age results were within, or close to, the normal range. Activity at levels considered normal for juveniles was detected in 10 of the 11 older patients whereas levels normally decline in older subjects. One week after thymectomy, 13 of 17 patients (76 per cent) had no demonstrable serum thymic hormone activity. However, 10 months or longer after thymectomy only five patients (30 per cent) lacked thymic hormone activity in the serum. There was a significant correlation between clinial improvement and sustained lowering of serum thymic hormone activity after thymectomy.
