Myasthenia gravis followed SARS-CoV-2 infection in three patients in Italy, researchers report.

Neurological symptoms in patients with COVID-19 have commonly been attributed to viral infection of nerve cells, but could potentially be caused by myasthenia gravis, Dr Domenico Restivo of Garibaldi Hospital, in Catania, and colleagues, suggest in Annals of Internal Medicine.
