Myasthenia gravis is a rare autoimmune disorder in which antibodies form against acetylcholine nicotinic postsynaptic receptors at the myoneural junction. Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic, recurring, and an inflammatory skin disease. Myasthenia gravis and psoriasis are both autoimmune diseases and correlated with specific human histocompatibility antigens. In this report, a 53-year-old woman who has myasthenia gravis accompanied with psoriasis vulgaris is presented. To conclude, this association is extremely rare and the pathogenetic etiology was thought to depend on a generalized immunological disturbance.
重症肌无力是一种罕见的自身免疫性疾病，其中抗体在肌神经接头处针对乙酰胆碱烟碱型突触后受体形成。寻常型银屑病是一种慢性、复发性炎症性皮肤病。重症肌无力和银屑病均为自身免疫性疾病，且与特定的人类组织相容性抗原相关。在本报告中，介绍了一名患有重症肌无力并伴有寻常型银屑病的53岁女性。总之，这种关联极为罕见，其发病病因被认为取决于全身性免疫紊乱。
