A study is presented of the oxygen-transport function of hemoglobin in 50 patients suffering of myasthenia. Age of the patients: from 18 to 70 years. The patients showed increased level of the erythrocytic 2,3-DPG which is a sensitive index of the state of tissue oxygenation and changes of the kinetics of oxygen by hemoglobin. The obtained results permit to evaluate the mechanisms of development of respiratory insufficiency in patients with myasthenia, favours adequate assessment of the severity grades of the disease, help to plan pathogenetic treatment.
