Graves' disease and myasthenia gravis are both auto-immune diseases and the coexistence of these two diseases is rare but well recognized. Myasthenia gravis is more frequent in patients with thyroid disease.
Here we present a case of 28-year-old male patient having Auto-immune thyroid disease (Graves' disease) with concomitant myasthenia gravis.
In conclusion, we report that the coexistence of Myasthenia Gravis with Autoimmune thyroid disease might have prognostic relevance and occurs in a subgroup of myasthenia gravis patients with a mild form of the disease.
格雷夫斯病和重症肌无力均为自身免疫性疾病，这两种疾病并存的情况虽罕见但已得到充分认识。重症肌无力在甲状腺疾病患者中更为常见。
在此，我们报告一例28岁男性患者，患有自身免疫性甲状腺疾病（格雷夫斯病）并伴有重症肌无力。
总之，我们报告重症肌无力与自身免疫性甲状腺疾病并存可能具有预后相关性，且发生于病情较轻的重症肌无力患者亚组中。
